If Amazon's saying these layoffs are just about cultural fit, not money or AI, then how do they keep teams running without a bunch of gaps? That could mess up operations quick if they're not ready to backfill. Seems like they need a solid plan for that transition.
At the end of the day, it’s the employees left scrambling to cover those gaps who really feel the fallout, whether or not Amazon calls it “cultural fit.”
