Amazon has declared its intention to lay off 16,000 corporate staff, a move that comes after the company had already slashed 14,000 jobs in October of the previous year. The current round of layoffs is primarily aimed at streamlining bureaucracy within the organization, with organizational adjustments for certain teams only having been finalized recently. Initially, Amazon attributed the layoffs in October of the previous year to changes driven by artificial intelligence (AI). However, it later clarified that the decision was more rooted in considerations of cultural alignment within the company. This week, some employees were caught off guard when they received notifications regarding their layoff schedules. Moreover, Amazon has also announced the closure of its Amazon Go cashierless convenience stores and Amazon Fresh supermarket operations. In recent years, Amazon has been persistently pursuing cultural reshaping efforts as a means to control costs. This practice mirrors a prevalent trend in the tech giant sector, where companies such as Microsoft and Meta have similarly implemented job cuts and personnel adjustments in response to the evolving landscape of AI.
