As a part of a restructuring plan, Amazon introduced in early 2023 that it might lay off roughly 18,000 workers by 2025. Affected positions will primarily be within the firm’s retail, know-how, and human sources divisions.
The layoffs, which characterize about 6% of Amazon’s company workforce, are a part of a broader cost-cutting effort by the corporate. Amazon has been dealing with slowing gross sales development and rising competitors from different retailers. The layoffs are anticipated to save lots of the corporate about $1 billion per 12 months.
