There are many thousands of amazon people (still) in NYC.

MSN going NYPost with the fanciful headlines.

Isn't Mamdani not even sworn in until next year?

Exactly. How is this related to Mamdani? (as implies by the gratuitous inclusion of his name in the headline.)

They are planning for him to honor his campaign promises. It does sometimes happen that a politician is honest. I don't think it is so rare that it compromises fiduciary duty to prepare for it.

None of this is brought up in the text. It's presented instead as a general trend within Amazon:

> "The layoffs come as part of Amazon’s strategy to streamline its workforce, eliminating excess managerial layers and fostering more ownership within teams."

and other tech cos:

>"Amazon's cuts are part of a larger trend in tech, as companies shift toward leaner models."

So why Mamdani's NYC?

(BTW, what a weird article. It reads like a press release from Amazon.)

Correct. Jan 1st, 2026. Flagged.
