Amazon is preparing to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs, marking the largest wave of layoffs in its history. The move, which is part of a broad restructuring and cost-cutting plan, is expected to begin this week and will affect nearly 10% of Amazon’s global corporate staff. The layoffs will impact divisions across the company, including Human Resources, Devices & Services, Operations, and Amazon Web Services. According to multiple reports, CEO Andy Jassy has pointed to the accelerated adoption of generative AI and automation as a key driver: the company "will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs," signalling a major shift toward artificial intelligence-driven operations. This massive reduction follows a series of job cuts over the past two years, when Amazon eliminated 27,000 roles to correct pandemic-era over hiring and reshape the company for a new tech landscape. Analysts say Amazon’s AI focus is likely to both automate core workflows and drive future efficiency, potentially reducing the need for human roles in middle management, HR, and logistics. Despite the layoffs, Amazon continues to invest substantially in cloud and AI infrastructure while enforcing stricter performance standards. As the company pivots towards even more automation and generative AI, significant workforce changes are expected to continue across the tech sector.
