Digest more
The biggest corporate layoff in Amazon’s history will reportedly eliminate 30,000 jobs across multiple divisions as part of a major restructuring effort.
CEO Andy Jassy had signaled that Amazon’s workforce would likely get smaller as the company increases its use of artificial intelligence to complete tasks normally handled by people.
The company is looking to cut costs starting this week as it continues to spend aggressively on artificial intelligence. Another round of cuts is expected in January.
