Amazon is planning major job cuts among its corporate workers as soon as this week, multiple media outlets have reported.
The online retail giant plans to lay off as many as 30,000 employees as part of cost-cutting measures led by chief executive Andy Jassy, according to the Wall Street Journal and Reuters. Each cited sources stating the same number of layoffs.
Amazon declined to comment when contacted by the BBC.
If confirmed, the layoffs could be one of the largest seen in recent months. It would be Amazon's biggest cuts since 2022, when the company let go of around 27,000 workers over several months.
Amazon's layoff plans were also reported by CNBC and the New York Times, citing sources familiar with the matter. The reports did not say where in the world job cuts will be made.
