       | This is pretty amazing - more layoffs are coming but we should
       | all be very optimistic about Amazon's future. This man is out of
       | touch and tone deaf.

       | 
       | So there will be layoffs but he won't give more details right
       | now? I find the decision to announce it like this a bit strange.
       | Can anyone with more experience shed some light on this - why say
       | anything at all at a time when you can't give specifics yet?
