    And on your way out, don’t forget to pay your electric bill now that we are commoditizing electrical service.

    They can always get a job working in an Amazon warehouse or do delivery

    The roles aren’t being cut, they’re being outsourced to India. Amazon is hiring like crazy in Hyderabad. My skip manager now has 4 people under him in Hyderabad despite my entire team getting laid off to “stay nimble”.

      Why blame Indians or India? It’s the American CEOs and shareholders who are greedy.

      No need to outsourced to India if AMZN can just get AI & robots to do the job in the US. Thank God that these jobs are staying in the US. Right?

      ​@tringuyen7519 in this context AI stands for Amazonian Indians 🙂

    Nothing to do with AI but it’s about greed.

      💯 Trump did the same thing in 2003 causing Oracle to move its headquarters to India. Wow, great job Trump!

    So Bezos shot his blow up doll into space and bought a massive yacht – yet can’t keep 16k employed?????? But hey, he is left leaning so there won’t ever be a No Kings march for him right?

    • @vrclckd-zz3pv

      January 28, 2026 at 6:38 pm

      As bad as Bezos is, I don’t think he would have had much input on this. Andy Jassy is CEO now and Bezos’s other companies are directly competing with Amazon in some areas.

      Andy Jassy is just moronic. This is one of the many ways he is destroying the company. Others include forced AI usage even when it’s totally inappropriate and killing off long term bets in order to penny pinch now. It’s completely antithetical to how Bezos did things and how Jassy claimed he would do things. If you read the old letters Bezos would write to shareholders it’s a night and day difference in leadership style.

      AI is great for productivity. Those individuals who can creat a decent JSON BLOB to get AI agents to complete tasks reliably will be paid big $. Others will be laid off in mass!

Mayfield has invested more than $3 billion in AI companies, much of it before founders have built a product or even formed a company. Managing Partner Navin Chaddha joins Bloomberg to discuss why he sees AI as a “100x opportunity,” why venture returns still depend on finding a handful of exceptional founders, and why Mayfield is resisting the industry’s push toward ever-larger funds to stay focused on early-stage investing.
