A Storm of 30,000 People: The Impact of Amazon's "Largest-Ever Layoffs" and the Pros and Cons of AI

Amazon is reportedly planning to cut up to 30,000 jobs in its corporate sector, with an initial announcement on the 28th revealing about 14,000 job cuts. The affected areas include Human Resources (PXT), Devices, Operations, and potentially AWS. The reasons behind this move include correcting over-hiring during the pandemic, reallocating resources towards AI investments, streamlining management layers, and strengthening RTO (Return to Office) efforts. While employees are offered a 90-day internal transfer opportunity and compensation, discussions about the impact on the job market, regional economies, and the relationship between AI and jobs are spreading on social media.
