Amazon Tells Thousands Of Staff To Relocate As CEO Touts AI`s Power To Replace Jobs


Amazon is escalating its battle to bring employees together. 

The tech giant is asking several thousand employees to relocate to specific locations to be closer to their teams, in some cases asking staffers to move across the country.
