Job cuts ahead of the holidays, Amazon cuts fewer than 1,000 jobs
Amazon confirmed a new round of job cuts on Wednesday, primarily in its Stores division, adding to the company’s workforce reductions even as it ramps up spending on artificial intelligence infrastructure.
The latest cuts affect fewer than 1,000 white-collar employees across the U.S., India and the U.K., according to a person familiar with the matter cited by Business Insider, with employees reporting reductions across customer service, marketplace support and engineering roles within Amazon’s retail operations.
Amazon said the changes were intended to reshape parts of its Stores business around its current priorities, according to the report.
The cuts come after Amazon eliminated roughly 30,000 corporate jobs late last year and in January, as Chief Executive Andy Jassy sought to reduce layers of management, streamline the organization and lower costs.
The latest reductions have also created uncertainty among employees, with internal messages raising questions about severance, access to internal job openings and whether further notifications could follow.
