Another round of layoffs is planned at Amazon the following week, with the company looking to cut 30,000 more corporate jobs. This follows the 14,000 office cuts announced back in October last year, which might be replicated in the next layoff, which could include the AWS, retail, Prime Video, and HR teams. It has been mentioned by the company itself that the layoffs were initially motivated by the need for reduced bureaucracy, as opposed to the traditional economic downturn and integration of artificial intelligence, although the latter might also be coming into play. This might end up being the biggest layoff the company has ever made, although it is only a small percentage.
