As we roll out more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done
we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce
Are we done for?

Nice of him to give them the heads up, so they can all go find new jobs now. Sure would be poetic if they all just moved elsewhere and left Amazon understaffed.

Oh, gimme a break.
This jerk is telling his workers that all their jobs are in jeopardy all the time, year after year. No news here. It's just his thing.
Probably he's trying to keep up the fear - booo hooooo...

Seriously, there's a reason there's been horror stories of people crying at their desks at Amazon since the early 2000's. Because they've always treated everyone like they're completely expendable at all times. Horrific work culture.

Something I think should be on the same level as "if buying isn't owning piracy isn't theft" is something like "if an ai/robot can take my job why should I have to work"

Well that’s just good, quality managing right there.

Can't wait for all the random deals on things when the AI randomly cuts prices of things or ships me pallets of things.
Edit: Things!

Corporate goons always use fear as a tool. This coupled with fucking up the entire tech industry via layoffs, and suddenly engineer leverage basically flies out the window entirely. You can’t replace senior devs with AI. You can try and I will enjoy watching you fail.

No. Amazon has been trying to cut head count for years now. They were hoping RTO5 would do the trick but because every company is trying to do the same thing people didn’t have a ship to jump to.
“Our AI is so great!” Is a way to mask that their finances aren’t good and they dramatically made the wrong bet in 2021 hiring so much.
Honestly most of the time at Amazon you’re doing more meetings and red tape than you are coding so I don’t expect AI to magically fix shit for them.

Exactly this. And their jobs might actually be in jeopardy if their colleagues start working twice as hard. Product will reflect this though

Can we quit posting this baseless fear mongering? It is simply powerful people trying to demoralize workers and acting like it is legitimate news is playing into their hands.

You can't even replace junior devs with AI. This is a completely false narrative intended to demoralize workers into not exercising their market power.

No shit, right? Seems obvious. Applies to many more than just Amazon employees.

Automation is a great thing, IF Universal Basic Income is also implemented.

Yeah, for clarity, I don’t think it can replace any dev. I mentioned senior because there’s a ton of soft skill and historical context involved that senior devs hold that is absolutely not replaceable. I’ve found AI to be helpful for grunt work and nothing else. It constantly chokes, even when being fed the entire codebase for reference.

We need to be taxing the companies for every job they replace with ai and use that to pay for it.

We are fucked, The rich are literally creating armies of robots.
