Doesn't say it's programmers though but middle management: > Amazon slashed 14,0...

I woke up to two of my engineer friends telling me they got laid off, so it’s not all middle management

Yes but this is a lie, a vast majority of the cuts in both rounds from October and today have been individual contributors, not managers.

Do you have a source for that?

I work at Amazon and I see who got cut.

You can also check the WARN notice in WA.

You can find the warn notices here. [0] From a quick script I wrote up, it seems that ~60% of layoffs noted on 1/26/2026 are from individual contributors

The new notice came out, that one is for Amazon Fresh only I think. It's 84% ICs now.

Seems sus, even if they got rid of half the managers, would that add up to the layoffs they've done?

Ah thanks for clearing that up.
