About this listen
Amazon is bracing for a seismic shakeup with reports of up to 14,000 corporate job cuts set to hit as early as today, January 27, targeting nearly 10 percent of its white-collar ranks across Amazon Web Services, core retail, Prime Video, and human resources. Reuters broke the story, citing insiders who say this second wave after October's 14,000 layoffs will total around 30,000 roles companywide, the biggest purge in Amazon history, as the tech titan slashes bureaucracy under CEO Andy Jassy's lean machine. Jassy himself downplayed AI or financial triggers, insisting to analysts its about peeling back excess layers built up over years, though an internal memo tied October cuts to AIs game-changing speed. Workers in India hubs like Bengaluru buzz with anxiety on forums like Blind, eyeing severance perks from past rounds: pay tied to tenure, temp health coverage, job coaching, and 90-day internal hunts.
Meanwhile, Amazons AWS flexes as the real profit powerhouse, with Finterra hailing its 2026 AI pivot to agentic smarts, custom Trainium3 chips slashing Nvidia reliance, and a whopping 125 billion in 2025 capex fueling data centers and Project Kuiper satellites. Fiscal 2025 crushed it at 710 billion revenue, 10.8 percent margins, and 76.5 billion net income, shares hovering at 239 amid 92 percent Wall Street buy ratings. No big public sightings for Jassy lately, but whispers of OpenAI workloads on AWS validate the cloud kings scalability. Employee morale frays with PIP scares and union gripes, yet frontline warehouses hum with 1.5 million staff untouched. Investors cheer cost trims boosting AI bets, but talent bleed risks loom. Amazons not just retailing anymore—its wiring the AI future, darling, even if it means pink slips flying.
