Synopsis
Amazon is gearing up for a major shakeup, potentially cutting 30,000 corporate roles from its ranks. This strategic decision is part of a broader effort to rein in costs after a hiring spree fueled by pandemic demands. With this anticipated drop, the company is poised for its largest workforce contraction since 2022.
Amazon is planning to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs beginning Tuesday, as the company works to pare expenses and compensate for overhiring during the peak demand of the pandemic, according to three people familiar with the matter.
The figure represents a small percentage of Amazon’s 1.55 million total employees, but nearly 10% of the company’s roughly 350,000 corporate employees. This would represent the largest job cut at Amazon since around 27,000 jobs were eliminated starting in late 2022.
An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment.
