I disagree with the layoff angle. Know who's quitting? The talent that can find another WFH job. Know who's staying?

OTOH, maybe Amazon's big enough to survive the brain drain.

Amazon has always been hostile to it's employees. The culture of "step up or fuck off" permeates the entire organization, from warehouses to executives.

They've even had meetings where they express worry over running out of a viable pool of people to hire from. Because they know they are abusive AF and working for them is miserable, so turnover is extremely high. At some point turnover could surpass a population's ability to absorb it.
