This strategic move aims to streamline operations by increasing the ratio of #individual #contributors within the company. While organizational shifts can be challenging, they often pave the way for increased efficiency and innovation. It will be interesting to see how this restructuring impacts Amazon’s future growth and overall dynamics. #Amazon #JobCuts #WorkforceManagement #BusinessRestructuring #TechIndustry Minutes

Amazon will be laying off 14000 managers. The reason cited is: they wish to increase operatonal efficiency while reducing operational cost. While a great manager can boost productivity, an average manager will reduce efficiency, here's how: 1) By scheduling meetings that go for hours. 2) By demanding approvals for trivial things like e-mail and messages. By getting rid of such managers, Amazon will be saving billion of dollars. What did you think of this move? #amazon #managers

Amazon wants fewer managers. CEO Andy Jassy believes it will root out bureaucracy. During an internal all-hands meeting on Tuesday, Jassy explained why the company recently announced a plan to reduce the number of managers. The goal is to make faster decisions and reduce management layers that are killing Amazon's unique culture, he said during the meeting, a recording of which was obtained by Business Insider. Amazon went on a massive hiring spree during the pandemic, which created "more layers" that "stretched" the company and led to a slower decision-making culture. "The goal again is to allow us to have higher ownership and to move more quickly," Jassy said. Jassy also addressed a number of employee questions, including the rationale behind a strict new return-to-office mandate.

Quintessential #Amazon: “We’ve always sought to hire very smart, high judgment, inventive, delivery-focused, and missionary teammates. And, we have always wanted the people doing the actual detailed work to have high ownership. As we have grown our teams as quickly and substantially as we have the last many years, we have understandably added a lot of managers. In that process, we have also added more layers than we had before. It’s created artifacts that we’d like to change (e.g., pre-meetings for the pre-meetings for the decision meetings, a longer line of managers feeling like they need to review a topic before it moves forward, owners of initiatives feeling less like they should make recommendations because the decision will be made elsewhere, etc.). Most decisions we make are two-way doors, and as such, we want more of our teammates feeling like they can move fast without unnecessary processes, meetings, mechanisms, and layers that create overhead and waste valuable time.” https://lnkd.in/gZhsiqwn

Amazon is a fast company. They make decisions quickly and execute effectively. If Amazon can be a fast company while employing half a million people, surely all the companies smaller than it has the capacity to do the same? A key handbrake to acquiring great talent is not moving swiftly enough. Clients that don't interview quickly; within 24 to 48 hours after receiving a candidate resume are putting at risk acquiring quality people. Similarly, offers that don't go out within 24 hours of reference checks being done also put companies at risk of losing great talent. Know this and know it well. Decide and move quickly. Great talent is not going to hang around and wait for a company to make a decision. Know that there is at least one other company, (if not more then one), who is prepared to move quickly and hire that talented person. Now, you'll be competing against them. #MoveQuickly #BestAdvice #SLCo
