Amazon

Amazon, the e-commerce and technology giant, is currently newsworthy due to significant workforce reductions and its involvement in the release of a documentary featuring Melania Trump. The company is undergoing a second round of mass layoffs, cutting approximately 16,000 corporate jobs, following a previous reduction of 14,000 positions. This restructuring is driven by a strategic shift towards artificial intelligence and a need to reduce a workforce that expanded during the pandemic. Simultaneously, Amazon is associated with the release of "Melania: Twenty Days to History," a documentary about the former First Lady. While the film reportedly had a strong debut in the US, earning $7 million, it also faced high production and promotion costs. Furthermore, the documentary's release has been uneven, with distributors in South Africa canceling its theatrical premiere due to unspecified "recent developments."
