Amazon is reportedly preparing to lay off nearly 30,000 employees as part of a major cost-cutting and restructuring initiative. According to three reliable sources, the process could begin as early as Tuesday, October 28. The move aims to align workforce levels with current business needs and reduce operational overhead. With approximately 1.55 million employees worldwide—about 350,000 of them in corporate roles—Amazon could cut up to 10% of its corporate workforce, marking its largest layoff since 2022, when 27,000 workers were dismissed. The upcoming layoffs may affect departments such as Human Resources, Devices, Services, and Operations. Team managers reportedly received training on how to notify affected employees via email. CEO Andy Jassy has been working to eliminate internal bureaucracy and streamline company processes, implementing over 450 changes based on employee feedback. The final number of layoffs may vary depending on Amazon’s financial priorities and evolving business strategy.
