Amazon Looks to Hire 30,000 Part-Time Employees in US (fortune.com)

Amazon's hiring spree is in full force. From a report: The online retailer on Thursday announced plans to hire 30,000 part-time workers in the U.S. over the next year, including 5,000 positions that will allow employees to work from home as customer service representatives. Amazon's incoming part-time employees will work 20 or more hours and receive benefits. About 25,000 of the positions Amazon has floated will work in the company's sorting and fulfillment centers, a nod to the company's plans to boost the number of logistics facilities across the U.S. in the coming years. According to Amazon, all of its part-time workers are eligible for a Career Choice program that pre-pays 95 percent of an employee's tuition if he or she is working in fields that Amazon says are "in demand."

Re: Part time, not full time

You want something like retirement and healthcare, budget and pay for it like an adult instead of working looking for a nanny. We'd have much less of a mess if that was done across the board.

The original poster did say you save AND BUY INSURANCE like an adult.

No, no he did not. That all-caps assertion was just something you imagined.

Or maybe it was something you failed to comprehend. It certainly seems to be implied, even though it's not explicitly stated. With such poor critical thinking skills among the masses, it's no wonder they turn to the government to be their nanny.
