> Beth Galetti, Amazon's senior vice president of people experience and technology, said in a memo sent to employees last month that the layoffs were intended to make the company more efficient.

Surely they are going to be hiring the "best and brightest" to replace those 700+ lost jobs? /s

Or are those jobs really going somewhere else?

Translation: Efficient cheap labor is AGI for Amazon.

You will see them fight tooth and nail against the HIRE Act.
