Amazon's Layoffs Aim to Boost Innovation
Amazon, a big company, recently announced that they are letting go of 14,000 employees.
The CEO, Andy Jassy, explained that this is to make the company more innovative and efficient.
He said that when a company grows very fast, it can end up with too many people and too many layers of management.
This can make it harder for the people actually doing the work to feel like they own their projects.
By reducing the number of employees, Amazon hopes to make the company feel more like a startup, where everyone has a big role to play.
This way, they believe they can work better and come up with new ideas more quickly.
