"Amazon could be implementing the largest job reduction at the company since 2023. As reported by Reuters on Monday, people familiar with the matter said that up to 30,000 corporate positions may be eliminated starting Tuesday. The job cuts are expected to affect various sectors, including human resources, devices and services, operations, and others. Amazon hasn't eliminated this many jobs since 27,000 were cut beginning in late 2022."
"In recent years, Amazon has made smaller job cuts across different divisions. In January, Amazon reduced a small number of positions in its Communications and Sustainability departments. This also follows a CNBC report discussing a memo from Amazon CEO Andy Jassy, which stated that, as Amazon continues to implement more AI agents, fewer corporate jobs will be needed. Amazon didn't immediately respond to a request for comment."
Amazon may eliminate up to 30,000 corporate positions beginning Tuesday, marking the largest workforce reduction since the 27,000 cuts that began in late 2022. The reductions are expected to span human resources, devices and services, operations, and other corporate functions. Smaller, targeted cuts have continued in recent years, including reductions in Communications and Sustainability teams in January. A memo referenced by CNBC from CEO Andy Jassy linked increased deployment of AI agents to a decreased need for certain corporate roles. Amazon did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
