Amazon is starting the week with massive layoffs, cutting nearly 10% of its corporate workforce roughly 30,000 jobs starting today. The company confirmed the move as part of a broad internal restructuring aimed at reducing costs and correcting what they now admit was “overhiring” during the pandemic boom.
The layoffs will hit several key divisions including Human Resources, Operations, Devices and Services, and even Amazon Web Services. Managers were reportedly required to complete training on Monday to prepare for the rollout of termination emails this morning.
This marks the largest corporate reduction in Amazon’s history, surpassing the 27,000 positions cut between late 2022 and early 2023. The move comes as tech giants across the industry continue to downsize, replacing human labor with automation and AI-driven efficiency models.
Sources say Amazon’s restructuring isn’t just about saving money it’s about repositioning for an era where machines are handling more of the workload. Robots are already taking over warehouse operations, delivery logistics, and even internal support roles once managed by people.
