Description

Amazons Massive Layoffs: A Shift Towards AI and a Leaner StructureAmazon recently announced over fourteen thousand layoffs, with nearly forty percent in engineering roles, marking its steepest round of cuts in history. This move is part of a broader trend in the tech industry, with nearly one hundred thirteen thousand jobs cut across two hundred thirty-one companies this year. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy aims to transform the companys culture, encouraging a leaner, less bureaucratic structure and pursuing innovation with a smaller team. The layoffs also include product and program managers, and the company has curtailed investments in experimental or unprofitable initiatives. Amazon is expected to carry out further job reductions in January and is shifting resources to invest more in artificial intelligence.
