Amazon is planning to cut approximately 14,000 corporate jobs starting next week, marking the second major layoff wave since October and bringing total reductions to 30,000 roles. CEO Andy Jassy clarified the cuts aren’t driven by AI or financial concerns but by excessive bureaucracy and organizational layers. The layoffs will affect employees across AWS, retail, Prime Video, and human resources divisions, representing nearly 10% of Amazon’s corporate workforce.
