Amazon plans to lay off approximately 10,000 people in corporate and technology jobs starting as soon as this week, people with knowledge of the matter said, in what would be the largest job cuts in the company’s history.

The cuts will focus on Amazon’s devices organization, including the voice-assistant Alexa, as well as at its retail division and in human resources, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

The total number of layoffs remains fluid. But if it stays around 10,000, that would represent roughly 3 percent of Amazon’s corporate employees and less than 1 percent of its global work force of more than 1.5 million, which is primarily composed of hourly workers.

其他的新闻outlet也相继报道了：

认真的说，你可以看下nyt的副标题
The job cuts of approximately 10,000, which would start as soon a ...

这一段话it指的是什么比较ambiguous，根据副标题it更有可能指Amazon。

The cuts will focus on Amazon’s devices organization, including the voice-assistant Alexa, as well as at its retail division and in human resources, said the people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.

仔细看了一下，根据英语习惯，逗号之间的部分是BTW，可以去掉，所以连起来是这样的
The cuts will focus on Amazon’s devices organization as well as at its retail division and in human resources.
这种新闻副标题搞错的概率比较小，所以应该还是三个部门并列，这里的retail和HR不是指device org的子部门。

大家有点心理准备，这明显是大范围裁Alexa，Retail和HR，极有可能一个子业务线全端掉，但是按照大厂裁员习惯，不可能AWS一点事都没有，参考Meta当初说Eng/DS少部分什么的，其实估计可能也有个几%在其他org一并端掉。 大裁员是mrg们免责快速扫掉平时需要繁杂手续PIP的好机会，肯定要搭顺风车直接一并扫掉的。

我是Doug底下的人, 提供一个DP: Alexa Shopping是一个1000～1500人的部门，不属于Device, 今年夏天并入了Search (L10 Org)。当时某L7就吐槽了一下，这些人应该是过来顶包用的。。。

Alexa Shopping大概就是echo那里的“By the way, Alexa can help you with placing an order....” 我对部门里的小伙伴表示同情，但是实话实说这个恼人的功能真的养不活这么多人。。。

楼上某层想说的是，Alexa老大Tom Taylor被端了
但其实Alexa老大Tom Taylor 和 lab126老大Gregg Zehr 都在今年九，十月份退休了。这是public news。时间很巧，所以不好说

坐标Alexa AI。刚收到了办公室director （L8）的紧急会议邮件，要求所有人下午1点开会，估计难了。到时会来更新开会的结果。我们director手下大约有200+人。

会议结束，持续15分钟。进去一看老大和HR都黑着脸，心想可能要凉，然后老大说有一小部分人受到了影响，已经逐个通知了，参加这个会的都safe。然后有人问后面会不会再来一波裁员，老大说we hope the best。还有人问能不能透露一下有多少人被裁了，根据什么标准裁的，是那些sub org受到了影响，老大回答无可奉告。

看来Blind真的准…

😭zszszszszszs

Retail and fin techs are affected by high inflation and high interest rate a lot.

So it begins...

Retail的组从年初开始就一直在downsize 已经是个很小的组了 还能往哪裁😭

有人能查到retail现在一共有多少人吗…

有什么最新消息吗

不是还在招人吗？
