re: Amazon cutting up to 30,000 corporate job. Yes 30K

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is undertaking an initiative to reduce what he has described as an excess of bureaucracy at the company, including by reducing the number of managers. He installed an anonymous complaint line for identifying inefficiencies that has elicited some 1,500 responses and over 450 process changes, he said earlier this year.
quote:
Jassy said in June that the increased use of artificial intelligence tools would likely lead to further job cuts, particularly through automating repetitive and routine tasks.
The full scope of this round of job cuts was not immediately clear. The people familiar with the matter said the number could change over time, as Amazon’s financial priorities shift. Fortune earlier reported that the human resources division could be targeted with a cut of roughly 15%.
Did it take AI to tell us that most of HR doesn't do anything that employees can't handle themselves?

Idk why any professional would go work for Amazon. It’s well known their turnover sucks.

Because you get part of your pay in options that seemingly double in price about every other year

These are CORPORATE job. Not warehouse labor.
Get your nose out of the air, you corporate people are no more valuable than warehouse workers or anyone else....

How do you over hire by 30k jobs?

Amazon is planning to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs
This would represent the largest job cut at Amazon since around 27,000 jobs were eliminated starting in late 2022.
Have there been other cuts between these 2 layoffs? Did they eventually replace those 27k jobs, or are we looking at 57k+ layoffs in the past 3 years?

Quick look at their employee counts stockanalysis, assuming accurate, would indicate they still have a way to go before the covid bump
Employee count as of 12/31:
2019: 798k
2020: 1,298k
2021: 1,608k
2022: 1,541k
2023: 1,525k
2024: 1,556k
2025: 1,546k (June 30th count)

Eric Schmidt explains it fairly well.
He warned a year ago that by the end of 2025, LLMs will be wreaking havoc on many jobs.

10% of corporate employees right after the text that you decided to put in bold
I wouldn't say it's insignificant

Crazy to me that society isn’t planning in any visible way for a time when employees just aren’t needed.
What do you think the 15 minute cities paired with flight and vehicle restrictions (ie open air prisons) paired with universal basic income is all about?
And before you’re like “that’s a conspiracy theory!” it’s taken directly from the WEF website and is being enacted along with digital IDs in the UK as we speak.

I believe some tech bros have been trying to acquire land in CA to do that but have been getting a lot of pushback from the locals

That sucks but on the other side, bullish for the stock?

"up to" are the key words and the layoffs started in 2022. So why the reduction in force.
Overhiring during the COVID period
Retraction of DEI initiatives — companies scaling back programs and reassessing related hires and promotions
Underperformance in the device segment
Declining competitiveness in communications and infrastructure against players like Google and Oracle
Increased focus on automation
Resistance to return-to-office policies, particularly among employees who relocated
AI impact — a contributing factor, but not the primary driver of reductions
