The Jeff Bezos-led tech giant has announced another massive round of layoffs, cutting approximately 16,000 corporate roles just three months after implementing a previous reduction. Despite reporting strong profits, Amazon has stressed the need to streamline its operations and sync with changing technological demands. Furthermore, the company's leader, Andy Jassy, has previously said that such adoption will inevitably shrink the need for certain corporate roles. Despite the story around AI, Amazon reportedly insists that this round of layoffs does not signal a regular cadence of job cuts every few months. In October 2025, the company announced it was cutting approximately 14,000 white-collar jobs, representing around 4% of its corporate workforce at the time.
