- This division manages products like Kindle, Echo, Alexa, and Zoox, and the company stated the cuts represent a small fraction of total roles amid a broader review.
- Amazon spokesperson Kristy Schmidt stated that the company has chosen to reduce a limited number of positions in order to better align with its product plans and improve operational efficiency.
- These job reductions follow previous cuts totaling over 27,000 employees since 2022 and reflect Amazon’s continued focus on cost control and leaner operations.
