Amazon is preparing for another significant round of corporate job cuts. The layoffs are expected to commence as early as next week. This action is part of an ongoing effort to streamline bureaucracy and reduce management layers.
The upcoming layoffs are anticipated to affect thousands of employees. Divisions impacted include Amazon Web Services (AWS), the retail division, Prime Video, and human resources.
The total number of reductions in this new round is expected to be similar to the previous elimination of 14,000 roles in late 2025. The company moves toward an overall goal of eliminating approximately 30,000 corporate positions.
