Doesn't say it's programmers though but middle management:

> Amazon slashed 14,000 white-collar jobs in late October, with CEO Andy Jassy stressing the need for the company to eliminate *excessive bureaucracy* by trimming operational levels and reducing the number of managers.

I woke up to two of my engineer friends telling me they got laid off, so it’s not all middle management

[iLoveOncall]

Yes but this is a lie, a vast majority of the cuts in both rounds from October and today have been individual contributors, not managers.

[petersellers]

Do you have a source for that?

[Rebelgecko]

Seems sus, even if they got rid of half the managers, would that add up to the layoffs they've done?

Ah thanks for clearing that up.
