CEO Andy Jassy oversaw plans to eliminate 18,000 roles, primarily concentrated in Amazon Stores and People Experience and Technology Solutions divisions.
An internal HR document from the previous year underscored Amazon’s approach, revealing an increase in the number of employees placed on performance-improvement plans during the mass layoffs.
As Amazon navigates through these changes, the company remains committed to supporting affected employees in transitioning to new roles, both within and outside the organization.
These decisions, while challenging, are deemed necessary as Amazon continues to invest, hire, and optimize resources to drive innovation for its customers.
