Amazon's Massive Layoff Strategy Shift

Amazon has announced significant layoffs, cutting 14,000 jobs, citing a shift in company culture rather than cost-cutting or AI investment as the primary reason. CEO Andy Jassy emphasized the cultural realignment behind the decision, impacting thousands, including 600 software engineers and 2,303 positions in Washington. This move comes amid widespread job cuts in the tech sector, with companies like UPS also announcing layoffs ahead of the holiday season. As affected Amazon employees face uncertainty, the layoffs mark a pivotal moment for the company, highlighting a strategic redirection rather than a financial necessity.
