Amazon’s Culture Reset Means Another 15,000 Employees Lose Their Jobs, Check Your Fit
KEY POINTS
- •Amazon plans to lay off about 15,000 more corporate employees starting next week, doubling October’s cuts.
- •CEO Andy Jassy said these layoffs reflect issues with ‘cultural fit,’ not cost-saving or AI changes.
- •Amazon’s total layoffs will reach about 30,000 jobs, affecting mainly their 350,000 corporate workforce worldwide.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, pictured looking decidedly unbothered, is doubling down on layoffs after trimming around 14,000 corporate jobs last October. Now another 15,000 are expected to hit the unemployment line as early as next week, pushing the total to a neat 30,000. Forget AI causing these cuts—Jassy has nudged the official story to 'cultural fit.' Yes, apparently if you don’t vibe with Jeff’s jungle, you’re out. Out of 1.5 million global workers, just 350,000 corporate folks had the unlucky charm of being in this streaming reality show of job purges. Amazon’s spokesperson is currently ghosting requests, staying consistent with their new corporate culture of silence.
