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

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...

schrieb am 18. Juni 2025, 15:13 zuletzt editiert vonSeriously, 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.

Edit: Things!

schrieb am 18. Juni 2025, 16:01 zuletzt editiert vonCorporate 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.

schrieb am 18. Juni 2025, 16:07 zuletzt editiert von criss_cross@lemmy.worldNo. 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.

schrieb am 18. Juni 2025, 16:13 zuletzt editiert vonCan 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.

schrieb am 18. Juni 2025, 16:55 zuletzt editiert vonYeah, 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.
