Amazon to Let Go of Over 18,000 Workers.
CNN reports that CEO Andy Jassy detailed the layoffs in a memo to employees.
Between the reductions we made in November and the ones we’re sharing today, we plan to eliminate just over 18,000 roles.
“Companies that last a long time go through different phases.
They’re not in heavy people expansion mode every year,”.
Several teams are impacted; however, the majority of role eliminations are in our Amazon Stores and PXT organizations
