A pedestrian walks past Amazon Ireland corporate offices in Dublin, as Amazon.com, Inc., said on Tuesday it plans to cut its global corporate workforce by as many as 14,000 roles and seize the opportunity provided by artificial intelligence (AI), in Dublin, Ireland, Oct. 28, 2025.

AMAZON’S BLOODBATH CONTINUES: The corporate titan has just announced a SHOCKING second wave of layoffs, slashing 16,000 jobs just months after terminating 14,000 employees. But this is NOT about efficiency—this is a RUTHLESS CORPORATE PURGE to fund CEO Andy Jassy’s ALL-CONSUMING AI obsession. The human workforce is being SACRIFICED at the altar of automation.
In a chillingly sterile blog post, the company coldly stated the cuts are meant to “increase ownership and remove bureaucracy.” Translation: Amazon is trading loyal employees for lines of code, betting everything on an AI future that has NO ROLE for the very people who built its empire. A leaked email to cloud employees confirms the carnage, revealing a corporation in panic, accidentally telegraphing its devastating “organizational changes.”
With 30,000 corporate roles eliminated since October—a FULL 10% of its tech workforce—Amazon’s message is clear: YOU ARE EXPENDABLE. Senior VP Beth Galetti’s empty promises that this isn’t a “new rhythm” of quarterly layoffs ring HOLLOW. This is a systematic dismantling of the American tech worker, a strategic culling to appease Wall Street’s hunger for AI-driven profits.
Behind the spin lies a HARSH TRUTH: The pandemic hiring spree was a Faustian bargain. Workers were lured in to fuel a demand surge, only to be discarded when the next technological wave arrived. Amazon’s warehouse armies remain, but the architects of its success are being shown the door, proving that in Jassy’s Amazon, no job is safe from the machine. The age of human-led innovation is OVER, replaced by a cold, algorithmic calculus that values efficiency over existence.
This isn’t just restructuring; it’s the BLUEPRINT for a workerless future, written in pink slips and severance packages.
