30,000 layoffs at Amazon: Managers receive email; HR division faces deepest cuts
Amazon initiated urgent manager training on October 27, preceding notifications to up to 30,000 corporate employees about layoffs starting the next day. These cuts, impacting nearly 10% of its corporate workforce across various divisions, represent the company's largest job reduction. The move comes amid aggressive cost-cutting and significant AI investments, with a strict return-to-office policy failing to reduce staff voluntarily.
