Given “the uncertain economy” and the fact that the retail behemoth has “hired fast over the last several years,” Amazon said on Wednesday that it will eliminate more than 18,000 positions from its employees.
“I expected there would be more role reductions in early 2023. We typically wait to communicate about these outcomes until we can speak with the people who are directly impacted. However, because one of our teammates leaked this information externally, we decided it was better to share this news earlier so you can hear the details directly from me,” said Jassy. “We intend on communicating with impacted employees (or where applicable in Europe, with employee representative bodies) starting on January 18,” he added.
