Let this serve as a stark reminder: capitalism, as it exists today, tethered to public markets that demand perpetual growth, is deeply flawed.
Amazon, like any publicly traded company, must show quarter over quarter gains. One of the easiest ways to do that? Cut costs.
Is the company bloated? Probably. But let’s be clear, no corporation truly cares about you. Public companies will always prioritize perceived growth over employee well being.
That’s the nature of the system.
As AI continues to advance, it will inevitably replace jobs across industries. This pursuit of efficiency will remain the top priority for companies until the underlying incentives change.
