So AMZN wants to have layoffs without using the word?

"So, we’re asking each s-team organization to increase the ratio of individual contributors to managers by at least 15% by the end of Q1 2025.." .. manager layoffs coming too.

> manager layoffs coming too.

A large pharma company which I worked for until quitting in July went through a similar process this year. The goal was also to reduce the manager / IC ratio - organizational efficiency and span of control, they called it - but in most instances it were ICs who were laid off while their managers were simply relegated to ICs.

Layoffs AND fuck with human lives at the same time, what could be more arousing for the chief director of directors or whatever. :)
