Amazon offers employees $10,000 to quit, launch delivery business

Amazon said Monday it was offering employees $10,000 to quit their jobs and become independent package delivery entrepreneurs for the online retail colossus. An Amazon statement said the latest incentive would also include three months of wages for employees who want to start their own delivery enterprise, and that they would be assured "consistent delivery volume" from the company. The move comes with Amazon seeking to reduce its dependence on services in the US Postal Service and Fedex.
