While Amazon continues to deflect criticism of its workplace culture, the retailer announced plans to nearly double its workforce this holiday season: adding 100,000 temporary workers to its roster.
The new short-term employees will join about 90,000 current workers (human and robot) at the company’s 70 warehouses and shipping hubs around the country, CNBC reports.
The seasonal hirings represent a 25% increase from last year when the company hired about 80,000 short-term workers.
Amazon executives say the temporary positions are in addition to the recently added 25,000 jobs the company filled in recent months.
