Amazon confirmed on Wednesday that it has eliminated fewer than 1,000 white-collar corporate jobs, primarily within its Stores division, which oversees its main e-commerce operations. The cuts, first reported by Business Insider, spanned multiple business units within Stores, including customer service, marketplace support, selling partner services, and engineering roles, affecting personnel across the United States, the United Kingdom, and India. The layoffs coincided with Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days fall shopping event and follow a broader round of 30,000 job cuts initiated over the past year. Word of the reductions surfaced on Tuesday when employees shared notifications in an internal Slack channel with nearly 37,000 members. An Amazon spokesperson said in an emailed statement that the company adjusted parts of its Stores business because it believes the new structure will better enable it to deliver on its priorities, while Founder and Executive Chairman Jeff Bezos said in a Fox News interview that the adjustments stem from overhiring during the pandemic demand surge.
