The AMZN number includes FT fulfillment center workers, so that number is in the ball park.

I predict that one of the mid term outcomes of the pandemic will be that all those people in (food) production, logistics (including retail), care and infrastructure that require personal presence will be far more aware of the non-bullshit nature of their jobs than before. Particularly in contrast to the mind workers who can switch to WFH and who, with few exceptions, could stop work for an entire year and society at large would hardly notice. Expect those still leaving their homes for work in two weeks to end the year far more aware of relative pie slice sizes than they were a year earlier.

That would be wonderful. One of the reasons I liked recent UBI proposals is because it jury are nonwage replacing but would do a lot to balance out the understood value of low-training-&-skilled-physical jobs.

How do fulfillment center workers work from home?

Citi (C) has 200K FTE ... they are starting to roll out a shifted WFH to only have partial teams in office and some departments are doing more if their functions allow.

The pay of AMZN executives (except Bezos) is also not making any sense, unless they get a lot more stocks.

They do. Base salary is capped. Stock comp will easily exceed base for more senior people.
