Amazon plans to cut 15% of workforce in new round of layoffs
- Amazon is preparing to cut as much as 15% of its human resources staff, targeting the People Experience Technology team, sources told Fortune, though timing and exact numbers remain unclear.
- This year, Amazon accelerated its shift toward AI and cloud, prompting workforce changes as CEO Andy Jassy said AI will reduce the total corporate workforce over time.
- Earlier this year, Amazon trimmed staff in its consumer devices unit, Wondery podcast division, and AWS, while Jassy previously cut at least 27,000 corporate jobs years ago.
- Contrastingly, Amazon will hire 250,000 seasonal employees across its US warehouses and logistics networks, announced Tuesday, despite reports of layoffs in other customer-focused divisions.
- Industrywide, big tech is framing staff cuts as restructuring amid heavier AI investment, with Amazon leadership shifting roles while expanding data-centre and compute resources.
