Amazon Prepares Layoffs So Lean, Even Two Pizzas Can’t Feed The Team
KEY POINTS
- •Amazon plans to cut thousands of more corporate roles next week, continuing waves of layoffs after eliminating 14,000 jobs in October 2025.
- •Over 26,000 Amazon employees joined an internal Slack channel to share memes mocking the layoffs, especially riffing on Jeff Bezos' 'two-pizza rule.'
- •Employees joke about how shrinking teams might be fed with slivers of pizza and prepare anxiously for January 27, the rumored cut date.
Amazon, apparently taking Jeff Bezos' legendary 'two-pizza rule' as a savage diet plan, is gearing up to lay off thousands more corporate employees next week. After axing roughly 14,000 jobs in October 2025, the behemoth’s staff Slack channel—sporting over 26,000 gloomy participants—is flooded with memes mocking their shrinking ranks. One stalwart comedian shared a pizza slice so thin it barely counts as food, captioned 'how we feed two pizza teams.' Meanwhile, AWS-branded pizza boxes hinted at where many cuts will land. Employees debate pizza-sizes—Costco vs. Domino's—while still panicking about January 27, 'The Shining' ax moment, and CEO Andy Jassy's buzzword-heavy mantra to stay 'nimble.' Amazon’s silence is deafening; their workforce’s meme game is thriving.

Amazon’s layoffs are so extreme, even two pizzas can’t nourish the surviving team. Meanwhile, their Slack channel is the new comedy club — because crying openly is not in the employee handbook.
Nothing says 'corporate efficiency' like starving your team to fit Bezos' two-pizza rule. Hope those thin crusts come with wads of unopened emails.
Amazon’s next innovation: productivity so lean you don’t even need a team, just a pizza slice and a prayer. Slack memes now doubling as survival guides.
