‘Staying nimble’: Amazon announces it will slash 14,000 jobs, more may be coming

Some of those jobs will be in Bellevue. More may be coming? That is total BS . More is definitely coming.

“As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,” CEO Andy Jassy said in June.

When he made the comment, he had said that the company had more than 1,000 generative AI programs either in progress or built and it was only a “small fraction” of what the company had planned.

When Kincaid made his statement about the Microsoft job cuts. Kincaid said,

“The truth is, the layoffs we see today are small compared to what’s coming. Artificial intelligence will bring massive job losses in the years ahead. That’s not science fiction it’s reality. We can’t stop it, but we can prepare for it. That means reexamining everything now.”

In the same statement about the Microsoft job cuts. Kincaid also said.

“We are in a crisis. For decades, recent college graduates typically enjoyed lower unemployment rates than the overall working age population. But that is no longer the case. Since late 2018, the trend has reversed and in recent years, the unemployment rate for recent graduates has consistently been higher than the national average. In March 2025, recent graduates faced a 5.8% unemployment rate, compared to 4.0% nationally. This isn’t just a rough patch it’s a warning sign. The struggle is real, and the path ahead points not toward improvement, but toward worsening conditions. Why is this happening? It’s the result of several converging forces. Artificial intelligence, automation, robotics and yes, the influx of foreign labor. These are facts. And we can choose to deal with them or ignore them. Today, people you’d never expect to struggle are juggling gig jobs just to stay afloat. Driving for Uber by day, delivering food by night . All in an effort to survive. We can’t sit back and watch this continue. We need policies that protect American jobs, invest in innovation without abandoning workers, and ensure that higher education leads to real opportunity not underemployment. We must prepare for a future where technology works for us, not against us, and where our own citizens are first in line for the jobs their tax dollars help create. This is not about politics. It’s about fairness, opportunity, and survival for the American middle class.

It is the responsibility of every generation. To build a better future for the next generation. Unfortunately it seems that America has stopped doing that. We are on the wrong path. The time for a major course correction is now. Not addressing these issues. Lead to Trump and the Republicans controling the government. If the Democratic Party does not start to address these issues now. It will lead to Vice President JD Vance becoming President in 4 years.
