"Moving forward, we remain focused on our mission to help product teams launch delightful products," Roy wrote in a memo posted by an employee to Amazon's internal Slack. "In support of this mission, I encourage you all to: Focus on the work that most directly impacts our customers, lean in on Al to enhance your effectiveness, [and] raise your hand when you see opportunities to simplify or eliminate unnecessary processes."
"Team, I'm writing to provide an update following Beth's update on A to Z from earlier today regarding organizational changes. As with other teams across Amazon, we've taken a hard look at our level of investment for various programs, which is resulting in some roles being eliminated within the OS & Services org. These decisions were difficult, but were made thoughtfully"
Amazon eliminated roles within its devices division as part of a broader plan to cut 14,000 corporate positions. The OS & Services team experienced role reductions, though the exact number affected in devices is unclear. Leadership asked remaining employees to prioritize work that directly impacts customers, adopt AI to enhance effectiveness, and seek opportunities to simplify or remove unnecessary processes. The devices division handles R&D for products such as Kindle, Fire, and Echo. Amazon HR chief Beth Galetti said the company is becoming leaner partly because AI enables companies to innovate faster than before.
