The retailer employed 1.54 million people worldwide at the end of December with at least 170,000 in California,
Having wrapped up a round of job cuts earlier this year that totaled about 18,000 workers, Amazon announced another 9,000 layoffs in March, which Chief Executive Officer Andy Jassy said would land on AWS, human resources, advertising and the Twitch live-streaming service.“It is a tough day across our organization,” AWS chief Adam Selipsky said in the email reviewed by Bloomberg.
Some AWS-related teams had already been hit by layoffs, including recruiters and members of the “Just Walk Out” physical stores technology group that joined the division in a reorganization last year. But the first rounds of cuts landed heaviest on the company’s recruiting and human resources teams, its sprawling retail group and devices teams.
An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment on the latest layoffs, referring back to Jassy’s email in March saying that they would be coming.
