Amazon's Andy Jassy Says 'I Hate Bureaucracy' As He Plans To Slash Managerial Layers: 'The Goal Again Is... To Move More Quickly'
Amazon Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN) CEO Andy Jassy has expressed his disdain for bureaucracy and announced plans to reduce managerial layers within the company
亞馬遜公司(NASDAQ:AMZN)CEO安迪·賈西表達了對官僚主義的厭惡,並宣佈計劃減少公司內的管理層級。
What Happened: In a company-wide meeting on Tuesday, Jassy outlined the company's decision to cut down on the number of managers.
發生了什麼: 在週二的全公司會議上,賈西概述了公司決定減少經理人數的計劃。
The move was aimed at speeding up decision-making processes and preserving Amazon's unique culture, which Jassy believes is being stifled by excessive management layers, reported Business Insider, citing a recording of the meeting.
該舉措旨在加快決策過程,並維護亞馬遜獨特的文化,賈西認爲這種文化正遭受過多管理層級的阻礙,據Business Insider報道,引述會議錄音。
"The goal again is to allow us to have higher ownership and to move more quickly," Jassy stated during the meeting.
「我們的目標再次是讓我們擁有更高的擁有權並更快地行動,」 賈西在會議期間表示。
Amazon announced in September that it plans to increase the ratio of individual workers to managers by 15% by the end of the first quarter of 2025.
亞馬遜在九月宣佈計劃到2025年第一季度結束時將個人員工與經理的比例提高15%。
As part of this initiative, Amazon launched a "Bureaucracy Mailbox" last month, where employees can voice concerns about unnecessary processes or rules.
作爲這項倡議的一部分,亞馬遜上個月推出了一個「官僚郵箱」,員工可以在其中提出對不必要流程或規定的擔憂。
Jassy revealed that over 150 suggestions received through this platform have already been acted upon.
賈西透露,通過此平台收到的150多項建議已經得到落實。
"The reality is that the S team and I hate bureaucracy," Jassy said, referring to Amazon's senior leadership team. "One of the reasons I'm still at this company is because it's not a political or bureaucratic place."
「事實上,S小單和我都討厭官僚主義,」 賈西稱,指的是亞馬遜的高層領導團隊。「我仍然留在這家公司的原因之一是因爲這不是政治化或官僚化的地方。」

Why It Matters: For the third quarter of 2024, Amazon reported net sales of $158.9 billion, up 11% year-over-year, beating Street consensus estimates.
爲2024年第三季度,亞馬遜報告了1589億美元的淨銷售額,同比增長11%,超過了華爾街的共識預期。
Operating income for the third quarter reached $17.4 billion, an increase from $11.2 billion in the same period last year. Amazon Web Services, or AWS, was the primary driver, contributing $10.4 billion in operating income, compared to $7 billion in the third quarter of the previous year.
第三季度營業收入達到174億美元,較去年同期的112億美元增加。亞馬遜網絡服務(AWS)是主要推動力,貢獻了104億美元的營業收入,而去年第三季度爲70億美元。
Amazon has also been expanding its partnerships and initiatives, including a collaboration with Meta Platforms Inc., Microsoft Corp., and others on a defense AI initiative.
亞馬遜還在擴大其合作伙伴關係和舉措,包括與Meta Platforms Inc.、Microsoft Corp.等共同推動軍工股人工智能項目。
However, the company has also faced internal challenges. Last month, AWS CEO Matt Garman defended the company's contentious new five-day in-office policy, suggesting that those who oppose it may consider other employment options.
然而,該公司也面臨內部挑戰。上個月,AWS首席執行官Matt Garman爲公司具有爭議的新五天辦公政策進行了辯護,暗示那些反對者可能考慮其他就業選擇。
