I cut 85 roles at My Amazon Guy this past week, most last night.

AI advancement allowed us to retire all Project Management and Executive Assistants at large.

To those affected, thank you for your service. You are welcome to add a comment that you're seeking a new role so we can help you.

To companies that need well trained staff there are 85 people you can reach by also leaving a comment with your need.

Why we did it now: AI changed our business in 2026, faster than I expected. Reporting that used to take a PM hours now runs on its own through Amazon's API. KPI tracking, pod updates and a lot of the clerical work are automated now.

The part that still needs a human is strategy, judgment, and the relationship with the client. So we rebuilt around fewer people doing higher-level work, with AI handling the busywork. Every agency is going to hit this. We just decided to do it now instead of pretending it wasn't coming.

None of that changes the people. These are great Amazon operators. They know PPC, listings, catalog fixes, account health, and how to keep a client calm when Seller Support won't help. Most of them are looking for their next role right now.

If you're hiring, leave a comment. We'll connect you, or they'll reach out to you directly.

If you were at MAG, leave a comment too. Tell people what you're great at and what you're looking for. I want to help every one of you land somewhere good.

Thank you for everything you gave MAG and our clients.
