The knife to Amazon's layoffs has finally fallen, and this time the target is directly on corporate positions. According to multiple media reports, Amazon plans to lay off up to 30000 "white-collar" positions, accounting for about 10% of its total workforce, making it the largest organizational restructuring in recent years. The affected departments cover multiple sectors such as human resources, equipment and services, and operations. It is expected that notifications will be sent via email.
This action is taking place during the period of internal structural "de bloated" reform led by Jassy, and Amazon hopes to accelerate the pace of adjustment by reducing levels and streamlining management. It is widely believed that this is not only about saving costs, but also paving the way for AI to take over more repetitive work. In this context, "flattening", "process efficiency", and "AI replacement" have become keywords in organizational design, while the space left for people and managers is gradually shrinking.
