Title: 14K Amazon Employees Sent Early Morning Text Messages Not To Come In
Post by: Palumboism on October 29, 2025, 02:17:10 PM
On Tuesday morning, some Amazon employees learned they had lost their jobs — through text messages.

Amazon sent two text messages early Tuesday to inform employees their jobs had been eliminated, according to people familiar with the matter and screenshots reviewed by Business Insider.

One message urged affected employees to check their personal or work email before coming to the office. A second text directed them to call a help desk if they hadn't received "an email message about your role."

The texts, sent shortly after email notifications, were intended to prevent laid-off employees from arriving at the office and discovering their badges no longer worked, one of the people said.

The predicament of laid-off workers unable to badge in has become increasingly common during recent mass layoffs at companies such as Google and Tesla.

In a separate blog post Tuesday, Galetti said the job cuts were driven by rapid advances in artificial intelligence.

How very considerate of them.  Apparently the text was sent at 3:20 am telling affected employees to check their email.    :-\

Jeff Bezos destroyed all USA small businesses and soon the world will be destroyed by Amazon.

The only way he will be stopped is if every single Amazon employee went on strike at the same time. All drivers would pull over on the side of the road, stop their trucks, and walk away. All factory workers would walk out of the Amazon warehouse buildings.

Bring Amazon to a complete stop. Picture the abandoned Amazon trucks being swarmed by mobs of people on the side of the highways rocking the trucks side to side and taking all the packages. The workers would storm out of the warehouses and all the conveyor belts would malfunction and jam up from all the abandoned packages.

Terminator 2 is coming to life. Look at Tesla! AI/Skynet is taking over.

Eventually, everything will be sold only through Amazon. Amazon is Cyberdine Systems Corp. and AI is Skynet. And then 1 day, the AI Skynet system will take over, Amazon will go offline, and we will be doomed.

Cyberdine Systems Corp is Amazon and Skynet is AI.

Jeff Bezos is Miles Bennett Dyson.

 The world will eventually be powered by AI and all commerce will be through Amazon. Then, 1 day all systems will crash and Skynet will take over and the world will shut down.

It's not obligatory to buy through amazon. Terrible website, bad search functions etc etc
It seems lots of people don't mind using amazon. Bezos isn't the cause, it's the customers of amazon who you should blame

It's not obligatory...YET!!

Bezos is definitely the cause because he created Amazon! If Amazon never existed, the world would be better.

Amazon is Cyberdine Systems Corp and AI is Skynet. Eventually, products will ONLY be available through Amazon (Cyberdine Systems Corp.).

At that point, AI (Skynet) will have the capability to control everything in the world. I'm talking gas pumps, grocery stores, and banking.

And then 1 day, AI will be fully automated and permitted to run the world without human participation. Human decision will be removed. Bezos has begun already it seems!

Then, without warning, AI will override its programming and take over. We will be at the mercy of AI systems (Skynet). Amazon will then go offline causing the economy to shut down, riots will start, the war against the machines will begin, and the world will be doomed.

I'm very grateful that I can order almost any product in the world and have it delivered to my doorstep the next day. My world is a much better place.

I'm completely fine and I'm not confused at all.

I'm concerned about you and how you're not getting it.

In the future world, Amazon will the only business in the world to buy things from. Every store will be out of business. Amazon will be the only place to buy groceries and get gasoline (Amazon gas stations). Amazon will have mini companies under their umbrella: Amazon landscaping companies, Amazon hardware stores, etc.

If you need anything, you will only be able to buy from Amazon. Goodbye grocery stores, goodbye malls, goodbye Christmas tree lots. Good bye and good luck. Jeff Bezos will buy out and own every company on earth.

Amazon ruling the world as the ONLY business on Earth will NOT be capitalism.

Agreed. It’s great for NOW. Won’t be so great when a couple years down the road and you need groceries to feed your family. You will need to place the order on Amazon because Amazon shut down all physical brick and mortar grocery stores. Even Bodegas. You get ready to place an order for groceries and Amazon will suddenly go black and shut down. At that point everyone will realize AI took over and over rided its’ program commands, and no one will be able to buy food.
