Amazon Orders Employees to Relocate to Seattle and Other Hubs
Save
Amazon.com Inc. is ordering some corporate employees to move closer to their managers and teams, roiling a workforce already worried about job cuts and warnings from the top that artificial intelligence will shrink their ranks in the coming years.
Workers are being told to relocate to such cities as Seattle; Arlington, Virginia; and Washington DC, which in some cases would require them to move across the country, according to people familiar with the situation. Amazon is mostly rolling out the mandate in one-on-one meetings and town halls rather than sending out a mass email, said the people, who requested anonymity because they aren't authorized to discuss company plans.

Boeing's July aircraft deliveries tumble 20% from June, trailing Airbus
By Dan Catchpole SEATTLE (Reuters) -U.S. planemaker Boeing said on Tuesday that it delivered 48 airplanes in July, down from 60 in June but five more than a year earlier. It was the most deliveries by the company in July since 2017, when it delivered 58 aircraft. Boeing continued to fall further behind European rival Airbus in deliveries this year. Airbus handed over 67 jets in July despite having a growing number of aircraft unable to be delivered because it lacks enough engines. That was down from 77 in July 2024, but it lifted Airbus' year-to-date tally to 373, compared to Boeing's 328. Airbus is also leading the U.S. planemaker in single-aisle jet deliveries, with 286 A320neo family jets compared to Boeing's 243 737 MAX jets. About 66% of all commercial jets are single-aisle planes. Boeing delivered 37 of its best-selling 737 MAX jets in July, 20 of which were for aircraft lessors and 17 for airlines. Boeing also handed over eight 787s, two 777 freighters and one 767 freighter. Airbus delivered five regional A220 jets, 54 of its cash-cow A320neo family, two A330s and six A350s. Aircraft deliveries are closely tracked by Wall Street because planemakers collect much of their payment when they hand over jets to customers. Boeing booked 31 gross orders in July, which included 30 for 737 MAX jets and one for a 787. The Republic of Iraq canceled one 787 order, though it still has seven 787s on order. By the end of July, the aerospace giant had received 699 new orders this year, or 655 net orders after adjusting for cancellations and conversions. Its order backlog was 5,968 after adjusting for U.S. accounting standards. Airbus has struggled with delayed deliveries from its largest engine supplier, CFM International, co-owned by GE Aerospace and Safran, but delays have spread to its RTX-owned rival Pratt & Whitney in the wake of a recent strike, the European planemaker said. Airbus still projects that it will deliver 820 jets by the end of the year, a 7% rise from last year. Boeing has not given guidance for annual deliveries. The U.S. company is working to stabilize production after a mid-air panel blowout on a new 737 MAX in January 2024 exposed widespread production quality and safety problems.

Amazon slashed 64% off this 13-piece knife set that's popular for a reason
New York Post may be compensated and/or receive an affiliate commission if you click or buy through our links. Featured pricing is subject to change. There's a certain thrill in buying something that looks far more expensive than it actually is. That's exactly the vibe of the Astercook 13-Piece Knife Set, which, at the moment, is basically stealing from Amazon in broad daylight. It's a whopping 64% off for the entire set. The appeal is obvious: it's not just one or two knives tossed in a cardboard sleeve. You're getting thirteen full pieces, including every essential for slicing, dicing, and generally feeling like you know what you're doing in the kitchen. This kind of complete knife block situation is usually reserved for wedding registries or people with culinary degrees, but here it is, priced like a single takeout lunch. Even if you already own a knife set, this is the kind of deal that makes you think about upgrading (or keeping a backup for holiday cooking chaos — which, as I'm writing this, I'm realizing isn't a bad idea). Amazon The Astercook 13-Piece Knife Set features professional-grade stainless steel blades designed for precision cutting, ergonomic handles for comfortable grip, and a matching knife block for storage. The set includes a chef's knife, bread knife, slicing knife, utility knife, paring knife, six steak knives, kitchen shears, and a built-in knife sharpener, making it an all-in-one solution for home cooking. Beyond the price, it's sleek. The knives come housed in matching cases that make them easy and safe to store in a drawer. With a set that covers everything from chef's knives to kitchen shears, you're not going to be stuck sawing through a tomato with a butter knife ever again. Whether you're outfitting your first kitchen, replacing an old set, or just enjoying the thrill of a truly ridiculous discount, this is the kind of cart-add that pays off in both practicality and satisfaction.
