Amazon to Cut 14,000 Corporate Jobs in AI Push

Amazon will cut approximately 14,000 corporate jobs, about 4% of its corporate workforce of 350,000, with more reductions expected next year.
The layoffs aim to reduce bureaucracy, streamline operations, and shift focus to key strategic areas, particularly generative AI and cloud infrastructure.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy emphasized that generative AI will transform workflows, automating routine tasks and reducing the need for certain corporate roles while creating new opportunities.
Affected employees will have 90 days to find internal positions, with severance, health benefits, and outplacement support offered.
