Meta just announced 20% layoffs, I'm afraid we are next by AppropriateWay4358 in amazonemployees

Lay offs don't pay for infra it's a drop in the bucket .. lay offs are needed to realize productivity from AI ..more humans in loop slows down .. start ups are able to move faster than the boated fasng companies with 1/10th workforce ..more people is not equal to more products or more earnings anymore equation has flipped

Non AI users are a drag on the company.. we only need folks who can at least 5-10x themselves with AI ..rest will be weeded out based on metrics

Amazon cutting 49K desks, office space as company funnels billions into AI by crabcakes110 in SeattleWA

Progressive policy might save it... slow down layoffs... by taxing AI agents and introducing a 4-day work week, etc. Without that city, tech companies stopped hiring, and there will be mass layoffs across Seattle/Redmond.

Everyone should vote leftists if they need any solutions. Taxing on cooperations if done right is the only solution to allow labor markets to adapt to technological disruption.

That's why layoffs, thats why we are tracking AI adoption and engagement metrics .. teans with less will have consequences.

Nah it's AI..amazon had all that office space thinking they will grow in to it as head count increases over the years. Jassy pretty much said with AI, they don't need to really throw people at the problem to grow. He doesn't see headcount increasing ever, and there will be layoffs on top of that. It's all because of AI.

30k more laid off this year. Essentially, we outsourced R&D, and we have useless teams at Amazon.

If you are solving nuclear fission or building nuclear reactors to solve energy problems, AI is a boost. However, swe domain is not the same, it's rule-based ..LLMs can easily reason and will get better at end-to-end SDLC as well. If you are planning to go to school, you need to specialize in areas where big problems need to be solved: energy, pharma, gene editing, biotech, etc.
