Amazon's AI Pivot: 30K Layoffs Hit AWS Despite $581M Outage
Press Space to continue
Last week, Amazon started laying off 30,000 employees. But the worst part? These layoffs are 10% of Amazon’s corporate employees—normally the “safest” from cuts. They want to be "organized more leanly" to take advantage of AI. One of the hardest-hit divisions was Amazon Web Services. Which is shocking because AWS just had a massive, global outage only 2 weeks ago. So, you’d think they need as many employees as possible to avoid that (estimated) $581 million loss from happening again. This is just another brutal reminder: You don’t owe your employer your loyalty. Because that loyalty is often one-sided. They'll let you go: • Less than 2 months before Christmas • When grocery prices are near record highs • With ZERO hesitation There is only 1 safety net you can count on: Yourself. We live in an age where whoever invests the most in themselves, wins. There has never been a better time in human history to get an obscene return on your own individual learning. The more you invest in new skills, the more money you make. Just PLOW resources back into yourself. Nothing will give you a better return over the time horizon of your life. (Not even Bitcoin!)
