Amazon to Cut 16,000 Jobs in Latest Round of Layoffs
Though business has been booming, Amazon said on Wednesday that it was laying off 16,000 more corporate employees as it looked to trim bureaucracy and free up money for plans to spend heavily on artificial intelligence.
The cuts were widely expected across Amazon’s corporate work force since late October, when the company laid off 14,000 corporate employees. At the time, The New York Times and other publications reported that another round of layoffs was planned for January, after the holiday shopping season.
The company did not rule out more job cuts in the future, although it said it was not planning to create a “new rhythm” of layoffs every few months.
“Just as we always have, every team will continue to evaluate the ownership, speed, and capacity to invent for customers, and make adjustments as appropriate,” Beth Galetti, Amazon’s senior vice president of people experience and technology, said in a blog post. “That’s never been more important than it is today in a world that’s changing faster than ever.”

I know it's not likely to happen, but I hope Amazon dies.
