Amazon announced another round of deep layoffs yesterday, cutting about 16,000 roles across AWS and its retail business, according to internal memos and reporting by Business Insider. Executives framed the moves as part of a push for an "ownership" culture and greater AI adoption, with software engineers particularly affected. The changes signal companies will prioritize employees who use AI and deliver measurable product impact.
