This is great news, if you have that entrepreneurial spirit!
On Monday, Amazon announced that it will start paying certain employees to quit their jobs and instead deliver packages for--wait for it--Amazon! Here's how the program works: Once an employee quits, they'll receive three months' salary as severance, in addition to $10,000 in startup costs to start their own business as an Amazon delivery contractor. The AP reports that the initiative is geared toward helping Amazon reduce its shipping time from two days to one for Prime customers.
