No, I can assure you even if they work directly in the building there is no way there isn't a middle man contract holder that allows the immediate firing of employees without effort. I work in this kind of tech. The goal is to have the least amount of actual employees as possible for these companies because it gives the least liability and the fastest route to letting them go.

Amazon does this with their delivery drivers what makes you think they aren't making sure there is a middle contract holder here too.

Previously worked for Amazon data labeling. The priority was largely having everything done in-house due to privacy concerns. It's a lot easier to act on privacy leaks coming from within. That said, the long term strategy is using crowdsourced labeling for anything not having to do with customers or customer data. So looks like you're both right :)

Mostly because I work for Amazon, and can both see the org structure and know how it works in other orgs here.
