Amazon Plans 14,000 More Job Cuts

Amazon is gearing up to lay off as many as 14,000 white-collar workers, with cuts starting as soon as next Tuesday. Jobs at cloud division Amazon Web Services are among those at risk, along with retail, Prime Video, and human resources units.

The cuts follow layoffs at AWS last July, which impacted hundreds, and broader company-wide cuts in October, which affected around 14,000 employees.

Following those layoffs, an internal Amazon letter said that “this generation of AI is the most transformative technology we’ve seen since the Internet, and it’s enabling companies to innovate much faster than ever before.”
