American tech and e-commerce giant Amazon plans to cut thousands of corporate jobs next week, as part of its plan to trim its workforce by 30,000, Reuters reported on 22 January, citing two sources familiar with the matter. A spokesperson for Amazon declined to comment, the report added. Its corporate workforce comprised around 3,50,000 people, it added. The Reuters report added that 30,000 cuts would be 10% of the company's corporate workforce. In 2025, Jassy said he expected the company's corporate workforce to reduce as AI efficiencies increase.
