Ah, good thing Ireland didn’t bet a major chunk of its economy on US Big Tech creating jobs or anything.

*phew!*

Amazon has six sites in Ireland, including the Amazon
Fulfilment Centre in Baldonnel Business Park in Dublin, Ireland.
Amazon to cut 30,000 office
jobs internationally following
Al investments
It is not yet clear whether Irish employees will
be impacted.

AMAZON WILL LAY off tens of thousands
of office workers as the e-commerce and
tech giant trims costs amid ramped-up

tightening move expected to begin on
Tuesday, multiple news outlets reported.

@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."

@aral

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 We were really smart - invested it in those AI job factories.
