@aral "Around 150 employees at Amazon in Ireland are set to be impacted as a result of job cuts at the company, RTÉ News understands."
So maybe it still pays off ;)
"Amazon employs around 6,500 people in Cork, Dublin, and Drogheda across corporate offices, operations sites, data centres and a customer service centre."

These jobs were the only benefit to Ireland, or rather the FF/FG govt.
In return Amazon got cheap electricity and big tax breaks.
Should be interesting..
@aral I kind of remember Ireland had a special European tax status because it had a lower gross domestic product. Is it still the case?
@aral sorry, everyone. We fucked up and invested all of your salaries in an unreliable technology, so you’re all fired.
@aral Is it time to start shorting amazon stocks?
@aral We were really smart - invested it in those AI job factories.
