Amazon set to hire 10,000 UK workers
 

US tech giant Amazon is to go on a hiring spree in the UK as online shopping continues to boom in the pandemic.

Amazon is to hire 10,000 UK employees as it opens more warehouses in the north and south of England.

It is also creating a number of corporate roles in Cambridge, Edinburgh, London and Manchester.

Business Secretary Kwasi Kwarteng said the move was "a huge vote of confidence in the British economy".

The coronavirus pandemic has accelerated a trend towards online shopping, and tech giants such as Amazon have reaped the benefits.

Now the firm, which has previously denied allegations of poor working conditions, is further entrenching its position in the UK

I work in recruitment and the number of people I have spoken to who have worked for Amazon and have told me how awful they are to work for is unbelievable. That said, people are desperate for work at the moment so any opportunities are welcomed.

Yes a High Turnover
of workers as it is real hard work.
Best for Younger people I would say.

It is hard work but the conditions and expectations are crazy too.

My friends son works for Amazon, he is in a warehouse, and he enjoys the work, but they will only extend his contract by two months at a time :umm2:

Brexit Britain is the place to be. Close down those Irish offices.

They will not
as the Irish Government
gives them special discounts
to stay there.
