Amazon Set for Largest Corporate Layoff in Company History

Amazon is preparing to cut around 30,000 corporate jobs, nearly 10% of its office workforce, in a major cost-cutting move aimed at correcting pandemic-era overhiring, according to reports from Reuters. The layoffs will span multiple areas of the business, including HR, operations, devices, and AWS, and follow earlier attempts to shrink staff through a strict return-to-office mandate and restructuring efforts tied to AI adoption. CEO Andy Jassy has acknowledged that generative AI will eliminate some roles while creating new ones, and Amazon’s cuts reflect a broader tech industry trend as companies increasingly lean on automation to streamline operations.
