The latest round of job cuts brings the total number of redundancies to 30,000 in 3 months
The retailer laid off around 14,000 employees last October, bringing the total amount of redundancies to 30,000 in three months.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy warned of workforce reductions in June 2025 due to the company’s investment in AI.
Also on Tuesday, Amazon said it was closing its Fresh and Go grocery shops, after deciding to focus its efforts on expanding Whole Foods Market shops and same-day deliveries of fresh food from warehouses (with Amazon Now).
As a result, the company is laying off employees who helped run Fresh and Go’s operations, according to an internal memo seen by the Wall Street Journal.
