Amazon Plans Major Corporate Job Cuts
Amazon is preparing to announce a fresh round of corporate job cuts as early as next week, as part of a broader plan to reduce its white-collar workforce by nearly 30,000 roles. The move is part of ongoing cost-cutting and restructuring efforts across the company.
Teams Likely Affected
The planned layoffs are expected to impact corporate and office-based roles across multiple divisions, including technology, retail operations, media, and support functions. Frontline warehouse and delivery staff are not expected to be affected by the cuts.
Scale of Reduction
The proposed reduction represents a significant share of Amazon’s global corporate workforce, though it remains a small fraction of the company’s total employee base, which is largely made up of logistics and fulfilment workers.
Company Response
Amazon has not made an official announcement on the timing or exact number of roles to be eliminated. In previous restructuring exercises, the company has said workforce reductions were aimed at improving efficiency and aligning costs with long-term business priorities.
