Amazon $AMZN ( ▲ 2.06% ) is reportedly getting ready to cut thousands more corporate employees next week, continuing its office workforce reduction push after already laying off 14,000 people in October, per Reuters.
The new round of layoffs could be roughly the same size as the October cuts and may impact several major orgs, including:
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
Retail
Prime Video
Human Resources
A bigger layoff target is now in focus
Separately, Business Insider reported Amazon plans to cut 30,000 corporate roles total, framing it as part of a broader effort to streamline operations and reset company culture.
CEO Andy Jassy reportedly told employees the prior round of cuts was “about culture”, not AI-driven cost reductions.
Bottom line: this looks like Amazon tightening the corporate layer hard, and it’s not done yet.
