That's a wild number of corporate jobs, if it was 100% of corporate jobs.

Amazon employs over 1.5 millions people. That’s around 2% of their work force.

A lot of companies are performing lay offs right now. Mine did 5% last week.

Resetting the economic landscape to pre-scamdemic and pre-ESG times. So many shite hires contextually and volume-wise were made between 2019-2024 that this was all but expected.

Its about 10% of corporate. Its a lot but theres so much bloat in Amazon. Anyone L7 and above his heavily incentivized to add headcount they dont need because the promotion process actually has team size requirements unofficially built into it - if you dont have a large team with several highly leveled members your promotion will be denied. So they empire built.

Jassy kind of said if without saying it a few years ago when he said AWS and some other business units went way over headcount so they implemented a hiring freeze for a year. The AI excuse is their way of unwinding this shite without saying out loud their corporate culture fricked them

All our jobs are on the chopping block. The oligarch class is salivating. We need to band together and fight back, or we're going to end up serfs.

AI is doing that. It will get significantly worse. White collar jobs are about to go the way of the dinosaurs.

Nah, neocons and big government republicans do that. I get told on a daily basis the GOP no longer wants my vote, even though I'm straight up conservative.

Some do everything they can to alienate people.

Anyone not in a warehouse/delivery station or working directly with ops execution
