Amazon just announced the largest layoffs in company history—and they're doing better than ever. That's the new reality. 📦💔
In just 3 months, Amazon has cut 30,000 jobs: 16,000 announced yesterday on top of 14,000 from October. That's roughly 10% of their workforce. And here's what makes this different: these cuts are happening alongside record profits and massive AI investments.
What's getting cut:
→ AWS, Prime Video, HR, Retail
→ Middle management, Engineers, Software Developers
→ Product Management, Recruiting
→ Pretty much every corporate white-collar function
The uncomfortable truth: your company doing well no longer means YOUR job is safe. The old playbook is dead.
If your company is investing heavily in AI but not training YOU or involving you in that process—that's a warning sign. The wealth is shifting from corporations to AI companies, and jobs are how AI companies will deliver returns on their trillion-dollar investments.
