• Amazon is laying off just over 50 employees in Sunnyvale, because apparently even trillion-dollar companies need to trim the fat
• Most cuts are at Lab126 on Enterprise Way, where 33 people will be shown the door — thanks for building Alexa, now pack your things
• Six more jobs are being cut at another Lab126 site on 11th Avenue, proving no innovation hub is safe
• Five jobs are disappearing at what looks like a fulfillment center, because fewer humans means more margin
• Another eight will vanish at 1140 Enterprise Way, rounding out Amazon’s tour of casually ruining local commutes
• Lab126, by the way, is the birthplace of Kindle, Fire, and Echo — so naturally it’s rewarded with pink slips
• The layoffs were quietly filed with the state last Thursday, just in time for summer vacation planning
• Amazon hasn’t publicly explained the logic, but Reuters says it's part of 100 cuts across the devices unit
• The official termination date is July 7, because nothing says independence like unemployment right after the Fourth
• SOOOO.... if you helped invent the tech that made Amazon famous, your reward might be a surprise July exit and a polite press release
