Amazon has been trimming employee numbers for close to three years now. Any large layoffs now see a dip in stock, so most of the layoffs this year have been small-scale to not worry the investors.

True, at some point investors switch from "good, they are improving efficiency" or "good, they are making way for higher quality hires" to "uhh, is there a problem? Are you going to keep going and risk going under some unknown critical threshold that will impact the health of your business?".

I imagine the rules are different for Amazon. It's just a regular corporation not a vanity project.
