This is specifically tech and corporate employees, which is a much smaller pool than the 1.6M you're quoting.

Disclaimer: I work for Amazon (but also haven't stated any opinions)

Yes, we know. That's why I specifically said it isn't news until we find out where those 10,000 people are being hit.

What is the ballpark of corporate employees count?

Hard to tell but probably around 300K.
