WARNING - AI being intentionally used to eliminate jobs, says CEO of which giant company?

Amazon Doubles Down on AI: 1,000+ Services & Workforce Drop 🚨

Amazon CEO Andy Jassy declared that across the company the rollout of 1,000+ generative AI services and applications is already underway — and this is just the “small fraction” of what they expect to build.

Jassy warned employees: “We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs being done today… and more people doing other types of jobs.” He added that “in the next few years we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company.”

Amazon’s scale: roughly 1.5 million full‑ and part‑time employees globally (as of March 31, 2025).

Right after Jassy’s memo, Amazon’s cloud arm Amazon Web Services (AWS) reportedly cut hundreds of roles across specialist teams — part of the broader re‑structuring tied to AI adoption.
Tech continues to be the first groups hit.

This trend isn’t isolated to Amazon. Other major companies are openly linking AI rollouts to head‑count reductions:

Goldman Sachs launched “OneGS 3.0”, an AI‑driven transformation that includes limited job cuts and headcount growth freezes.

Telecom giant Telstra expects workforce shrinkage under its “Connected Future 30” strategy through 2030, citing AI efficiency gains in customer service, IT and dev.

Analysts estimate 37% of companies already have replaced roles with AI or expect to do so by the end of 2026. The tidal wave of employment cuts is now here.

So what does this mean for jobs over the next 5 years?

Repetitive, process‑driven corporate tasks (data entry, simple customer service, standard coding) are increasingly vulnerable.

Workers who stay ahead will be those who leverage AI (prompt‑engineering, overseeing agents, human‑AI collaboration) or who specialize in human contexts (empathy, judgement, relationship management).

If major employers can do the same output with “scrappier teams” and AI agents, hiring growth will slow, layoffs may accelerate, and workforce transitions become urgent rather than optional.

Bottom‑line: Amazon’s announcement is a strong signal — this wave of AI isn’t just productivity talk, it’s being baked into large‑scale labor transformation. The question for you: Are you preparing for the job‑market that’s coming?
