Amazon confirmed a new round of job cuts on Wednesday, primarily in its Stores division, affecting fewer than 1,000 white-collar employees across the U.S., India and the U.K. Employees reported reductions across customer service, marketplace support and engineering roles within Amazon's retail operations, according to Business Insider. Amazon said the changes were intended to reshape parts of its Stores business around its current priorities and that it would support affected employees during the transition. The cuts follow the elimination of roughly 30,000 corporate jobs late last year and in January, as Chief Executive Andy Jassy sought to reduce layers of management and lower costs. The restructuring is part of a wider shift across the technology sector, where Meta eliminated about 8,000 positions in May and Microsoft cut more than 5,000 jobs between July and September, while Amazon has been approaching some former employees about openings in AWS and its AI businesses.
