Amazon's Cultural Reset: Navigating Layoffs for Agility
ORBITINDONESIA.COM – Amazon's decision to implement massive layoffs isn't about financial distress, but a strategic cultural shift.
In a surprising move, Amazon announced plans to cut around 14,000 corporate positions, a step seen as a cultural recalibration rather than a financial necessity.
CEO Andy Jassy emphasized that these layoffs are part of a larger mission to restore agility within Amazon. The company's headcount tripled during the pandemic, leading to a cumbersome bureaucracy.
Jassy's approach seems to echo Amazon's early days, aiming to strip away layers and unleash entrepreneurial vigor. This contrasts with fears of AI-driven job losses, signaling a focus on human resource optimization.
As Amazon navigates this cultural reset, the challenge lies in balancing efficiency with employee morale. Will this bold move rekindle the company's pioneering spirit?
