Amazon also had to be "shamed" to increase their hourly rate. Which is disgusting considering their profit and what they expect fromt their employees. Working at any level at Amazon is grueling.
My kids have many friends who are front line CMS and what they do in order to continue to work at the parks is stunning. Grown adults sharing rooms or renting rooms in a house to make ends meet. There is no real career ladder but I do think it would have gotten better with the Aspire program, but then Covid happened.
IMHO I don't see layoffs happening outright. They don't want to desimate their labor force. I just don't see them recalling cast for up to a year.

* 13 weeks of Pandemic Emergency Unemployment
Florida, as of now, provides 18(12 +6) weeks of unemployment lowest in the USA. Which takes thoose that have been furloughed to mid September. It will be complete carnage if that doesn't get extended. The larger Apartment complexes will not let you resign your lease if you are furloughed, so there is potential to become homeless.
