I thought we were done with mass layoffs for a while. How much did Amazon overhire? Iโm also reading majority of these 14000 would be manager level employees

I know some of the useless people in the AWS org. No great loss.
Yeah, itโs a bloated org.
A lot of managers are useless but on ridiculous wages
Fattier than a burnt end. Kill the bloat, stay afloat.
Well put, but now I'm hungry.
Can't really get burnt ends here :(

Put that Traeger to some use.
I don't even think we can get the ends to burn!! At least not where I am.
I'm going to have to look into this....

isn't amazon already doing pretty welll?
Couldn't they be doing even better if the AMs and shitty partner reps didn't sit around and collect cash for doing jack?
Sounds like itโs specific to managers, which honestly makes sense. Itโs a big number, though. Thatโs a lot of middle management to carve out.
automation means less people to manage, it really is only natural for this to occur. I'm all for employees making more money but every time workers demand higher wages it stokes the think tank of how to eliminate them... shitty reality but a reality nonetheless
Pour one out
This is middle management, and itโs a good thing to get rid of those layers in some cases
Middle Management has always been infamous
Even though 14,000 is a lot! It's still close to only 1% of its total employee strength. Sad for the ones that might get impacted.
i thought we always count deaths and layoffs as quantums and not percentages?
Layoff season wonโt be done until next year
And yet the news is doing the rounds this year
Yea stupid media is the enemy of humanity. Buncha losers
They will rehire at lower salaries and keep the same hard lengthy hiring processes I'm sure.
