Layoff
Shockwave at Amazon: 14,000 jobs could be cut as early as next week!
Amazon is reportedly planning another round of corporate layoffs as part of its ongoing efforts to streamline its workforce, NDTV reported.
The tech giant, which aims to cut a total of 30,000 jobs, had previously laid off around 14,000 employees in October last year.
The new round of layoffs is expected to be of a similar scale.
According to reports, the latest round of job cuts could begin as early as next Tuesday and is likely to affect Amazon Web Services (AWS), retail, Prime Video, and Human Resources divisions.
Last year, the company linked its layoffs to the rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI), describing it as “the most transformative” shift since the emergence of the internet.
Later, CEO Andy Jassy clarified that the reductions were driven by organizational “culture” changes, aimed at removing layers of management and enabling faster decision-making.
He emphasized that the cuts are not due to financial weakness but are intended to create a leaner corporate structure in a competitive tech landscape.
