First Meta, now Amazon. Both Jassy and Zuckerberg said it was a "difficult decision". It wasn't. US has inhumane labor laws. Labor laws should change in a way that all US workers laid off by a company should get 3 months salary indemnification and 6 months Insurance coverage. That way companies will think twice going in their "hiring sprees".

Is this just affecting US workers?

No, it's global. The employees in the EU will be notified some months after the US (likely because of stronger labor laws in the EU)
