Amazon announced a new business opportunity for almost anyone with enough savings and a desire to be their own boss.
Amazon is encouraging its employees to quit their job and start their own Amazon delivery business through the program by offering them $10,000 and the equivalent of three months’ salary to participate.
Amazon owner said, “Good employees can become even better owners”. It advances Amazon’s long-term vision.
Amazon says through the program employees “will leave their role at Amazon to build their business knowing they will have consistent delivery volume from Amazon, access to the company’s sophisticated delivery technology, hands-on training, and discounts on a suite of assets and services, including Amazon-branded vans customized for delivery, branded uniforms and comprehensive insurance.
Amazon’s new employee incentive comes at a time in which Amazon is trying to speed up its Prime delivery shipping from two days to one.
The offer is available to most part-time and full-time Amazon employees.
The company offers to pay full-time associates at Amazon fulfillment centers up to $5,000 to leave the company. The company says it only wants employees who want to be there. Those who accept the offer can never work at Amazon again.
