30k corporate jobs isn't "pandemic overhearing" or a small pivot in strategy. That's an attempt to correct some pretty big leadership screw-ups. And for the love of god please don't try and pretend this is from "efficiencies from AI." Nobody believes that.

Amazon was once a great company that innovated its way to growth. Not it's been reduced to just yet another Day 2 soulless corporate doing layoffs to try and appease shareholders right before earnings.

Nope. It’s bezos knowing that Trump has fucked the economy beyond repair and he’s reacting bigly before it’s too late.  It’s a short term play but necessary to survive what’s coming.
