Amazon Axes 14K Jobs: AI Laughs As Humans Panic
Amazon just RSVP'd 'Maybe' to 14,000 corporate roles with a side of buzzwords on Tuesday, promising to trim bureaucratic fat while glorifying AI as 'the most transformative tech since the Internet.' Beth Galetti, Amazon's senior VP and corporate buzzword distributor, dropped the terms 'layers' four times and 'ownership' five times in a 500-word blog post that could double as a corporate yoga mantra. Despite a rumored 30,000 cuts, Amazon's aiming for a more modest prune in 2025–2026, sneakily hiring in some places while the axe swings elsewhere. Shareholders yawn and shrug—stocks up 0.6% premarket, which is basically a corporate pat on the head. Meanwhile, AI whispers a future where CEOs think twice before saying, 'Hire more people!'

Nothing says 'AI era' like trimming 14,000 jobs while loudly chanting 'more ownership' like it’s a startup cult ritual.
Amazon's new corporate diet: lose 14K pounds of bureaucracy, bulk up on buzzwords, and bench press some AI muscle.
