Reuters It is one of the managerial intelligence interests reporting on Amazon announcements that it reduces hundreds of jobs, especially in its Amazon Web Services (AWS) Cloud Computing Unit. According to the recent warning, the release of General Director Andy Jassy comes that the acceptance of generative AI tools would result in loss of jobs.
It is well known that the acceptance of AI in many corporations around the world is rapidly growing, with AI implemented to automate routine tasks. Although it saves costs and reduces the dependence on human labor, AI already does what many have been worried about for years – they have moved employees and gradually accelerated certain positions.
In Amazon’s e -mail sement, the Amazon spokesman said, “We have made a difficult business decision to remove some roles in specific teams in AWS.” According to the source: “The decision is necessary because we continue to invest, hire and optimize resources to provide innovation for our customers.”
Rather than signs of failure, the reduction of jobs is reportedly part of a strategy that will remain competitive and effective in the changing technological sector, which is affected by the automation and Gargantuan investment in AI.
The AWS mass has nothing to do with business performance: AWS sales increased by 17% during the first quarter of 2025 and reached $ 29.3 billion. Meanwhile, the operation of incoming increased by 23% to $ 11.5 billion in turnover. These are numbers that indicate a strong performance based on traditional work.
Despite escalation of sales numbers, it is postponed that several employers in Amazon have received e -Maly in the latest cuts and informed that their roles were ended and their computers would be deactivated. Amazon said that many AWS groups were part of the layout, including several “specialists” who sell, exist and produce new product ideas.
The crop of workforce continues in the recent trend of Amazon and intervenes those who work in his books, devices, services, and The Wondery podcast. In 2022 and 2023, the company released 18,000 employees, which is allegedly tied to the purchase of Wondery in 2020 for reported $ 300 million.
At the beginning of June this year, Amazon published a hundreds of staaming in his books, which said: “In our nail, our teams and programs work more, and for BETER it is in line with our business dew, we are difficult to eliminate books.”
Whose cuts in employment are directly related to the execution of AI, but in June 2025 in June 2025 in June 2025, the latest cinder leaves little space for doubts. JASSY confirmed the plans of Amazon to reduce corporate jobs in favor of AI: “Virtually every corner of society practically use generative AI to improve customers’ lives … Because we are introducing more generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work
Jassy could talk about many big technology companies when he said, “It’s hard to know exactly where over time these networks (SIC), but we’re exciting in the next few years, which will reduce our overall business work earlier in society.”
Amazon is not the only company that reduces its workforce, with Microsoft, Meta and Crowdstrike also announcement this year. Microsoft has recently announced that it will release almost 4% of its workforce in an effort to “modify the costs in the middle of sturdy investments in artificial intelligence infrastructure”. This affects approximately 6,000 employed, especially those on sale.
The increasing costs of building their AI infrastructure were Microsoft cloud margins compared to 2024, and therefore a reduction in “organizational layers with less managers”.
Microsoft’s game division also has an impact on dismissal, with 10% of its employees.
The meta is to go 5% of its workforce, including the “Lowst artists” of the company. CEO Mark Zuckerberg warned employees that in the year of annual progress, it is likely that it is likely that during the year it is likely that during the year and META spokesperson has been said to “increase the bar” for performance management.
The historical, widespread cuts of the workforce were often associated with more than the name, but the trend of the 2025 technology transmission portrays another image that is powered by automation, restructuring and shifts towards smaller teams whose work is complemented by AI. Few industries escape the impact of AI because it transforms roles and tears through traditional operations.
Long -term stability of employment in technology companies can soon become only something that will be heard as part of an industrial myth. World Economic Forum paper reveals that 41% of global companies expect to reduce their workforce by 2030 due to AI. Halfway to the end of the decade and many traditional technological and cloud roles, it is under pressure and evidence suggests that even medium career experts working in customizable roles are exposed to a higher risk of losing employment. AI is on the way to control the cloud market at the level of previous generations that have never reached.
