Amazon just fired 14,000 employees. The official reason? "Operational efficiency."
But Decision Intelligence expert Joseph Vale exposes what they're NOT saying: AI automation is replacing entire departmentsβand managers are next.
October 28, 2025. While Amazon celebrates record AI investments ($118 billion in capex), 30,000 jobs are on the chopping block. This isn't about efficiency. It's about cold math: AI costs less than humans.
In this explosive 10-minute episode, Joseph Vale and Damian (his hyper-personalized AI co-host) dissect:
π― Why Amazon is targeting mid-level managers first (and why you should be worried)π° The brutal economics: $3B in salaries vs $118B in AI infrastructureπ The pattern NO ONE is talking about: Amazon isn't aloneβthis is systemic across Big TechβοΈ The AI Governance crisis: Who's responsible when algorithms replace 30,000 families?π Wall Street's response: Stock prices UP after layoffs (yes, really)
This isn't anti-AI. Joseph literally has an AI co-host. But as an expert in AI Ethics, Decision Intelligence, and AI Governance, he's asking the uncomfortable questions:
What happens when automation is cheaper than humans in ALL industries?Where's the corporate responsibility?Are we prepared for what's coming?
Whether you're a CTO, manager, developer, or CEOβthis affects you. The difference between being on that list of 14,000 or not? Understanding how to work WITH AI, not against it.
π¬ ENGAGEMENT QUESTION:If your job could be automated tomorrow, would your company tell you in advance? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
