I'm sorry this just reads like a pile of sad excuses for being bad at human resource management. (And I use the dehumanizing term "human resources" on purpose here...) "Some may ask why we didn’t announce these role reductions with the ones we announced a couple months ago. The short answer is that not all of the teams were done with their analyses in the late fall; and rather than rush through these assessments without the appropriate diligence, we chose to share these decisions as we’ve made them so people had the information as soon as possible. The same is true for this note as the impacted teams are not yet finished making final decisions on precisely which roles will be impacted. " So people [Amazon employees, the market] are just supposed to just excuse them not just for being crappy at analyzing project costing and the market and overhiring like crazy last year.. but also being crappy at their job at managing the layoffs this year, too? ... We're overstaffed... but we can't tell you who we're overstaffed with. (So just a hunch then?). But we have to do these layoffs. We, uh, just didn't want to rush who they, uh, were, uh, back then... before... so, trust us, we need this number of people gone. So we'll announce this, to put you on the edge of your seat that it might be you... because, y'know, it'd be rude to, announce who, uh, before we're ready? Barely even trying to hide that it's really just about making Stock Price # Go Up (it didn't go up enough with the last round, I guess) and keep employees on their toes.
