Amazon layoffs: Amazon, one of the world’s largest e-commerce and cloud computing companies, is once again preparing for layoffs. This time, staff at HR level will be laid off. According to media reports, Amazon is planning to cut its human resources department by 15 percent.
Amazon has more than 10,000 employees in its human resources department worldwide. There is a possibility of layoffs in many other departments also. However, its greatest impact is likely to be on human resources, known as the People Experience and Technology (PXT) team. Nothing can be said clearly about this right now.
People are being fired from every department
This news of layoffs comes immediately after Amazon’s announcement that the company will appoint 2,50,000 employees in the US fulfillment and transportation network for the next festive season. Like many big companies of the world, Amazon is also going through a phase of layoffs. According to a Bloomberg report, about 110 people have recently been laid off in Amazon’s Wondery Podcast division. The company cited the restructuring being done on a large scale. Even the CEO at Wondery left his job.
Amazon’s investment of 100 billion dollars
As the scope of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasing, companies are trying to reduce their workforce. Even Amazon has not been spared from this. Keeping in mind the increasing use of AI, the company is investing heavily in it. The company plans to spend approximately $100 billion this year in building cloud and data centers. In this era of change, people are being thrown out of work in droves. The maximum retrenchment took place between the end of 2022 and 2023, when about 27,000 people lost their jobs.
