Jack Kelly and Rick Chen react to Amazon's layoffs before Black Friday and the holidays. We put the 10,000 job cuts in context, compared it against the Twitter and Meta layoffs, and dug into whether Amazon might cut even more jobs later. Rick shines a spotlight on what the Blind community says about Amazon's company culture and how HR terms like unregretted attrition or performance improvement plans can help us understand the world's largest online retailer. Finally, Jack gives his best advice on navigating the workplace amid the whiplash of company return-to-office and layoff plans.
