   Amazon is planning a heavy wave of layoffs starting Tuesday impacting as   
   many as 30,000 corporate jobs, according to a Reuters report.   
      
   The e-commerce and web services giant and parent of Amazon MGM Studios and   
   Prime Video is still working to pare down after over hiring during Covid.   
   The cuts will likely cut across divisions.   
      
   Layoffs of that degree would represent roughly 10% of the company’s   
   350,000 corporate employees. Its total global workforce, of some 1.5   
   million full time and part time, is much larger and comprised largely of   
   warehouse employees. Reuters said the cuts would represent the largest   
   round of layoffs at Amazon since some 27,000 jobs were eliminated starting   
   in late 2022, and that managers are undergoing training Monday on   
   communicating with staff ahead of pink slips that will begin to hit email   
   inboxes Tuesday morning. Other reports said the total number hasn’t yet   
   been determined.

   Laying Off 100-Plus Staffers   
      
   Amazon in August reorganized its audio divisions, laying off more than 100   
   workers and dramatically narrowing the scope of its Wondery studio. It   
   January of 2024, it laid off several hundred employees across Prime Video   
   and Amazon Studios as part of a review of its business.   
      
   Amazon reps were’t immediately available to comment.   
      
   The report comes as the company is one of several circling Warner Bros.   
   Discovery, which formally put itself up for sale last week after receiving   
   interest from multiple parties.   
      
   It wasn’t clear if the cuts were AI-related, but CEO Andy Jassy has warned   
   that Generative AI will change the way work is done at the company. It   
   will require “fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done   
   today, and more people doing other types of jobs,” he said in a memo to   
   staff in June.

   November 5, 2024 - Congratulations President Donald Trump.  We look   
   forward to America being great again.   
      
   We live in a time where intelligent people are being silenced so that   
   stupid people won't be offended.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disasters of the 2008-2017, 2020-2024 Obama   
   / Biden / Harris fiascos, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.
