Seriously?  Amazon hires thousands of people just for the christmas season, 
let alone all year. You really don't fill 43 orders per second with 
"thousands" of people. :-)  It also doesn't count Mehcanical Turk. ;-)

That's from 2006, and hard to say if amazon.co.uk is the same "company" as 
amazon.com.

Google has 20,000 employees, but with about a 10%-30% turnover each year.
