Amazon to cut up to 15% of HR staff for AI and cloud investments, despite hiring 250K temps for holidays.
Amazon is planning to lay off up to 15% of its Human Resources staff, primarily in the People eXperience and Technology (PXT) division, as part of a broader restructuring to boost efficiency and fund over $100 billion in 2025 investments in AI and cloud infrastructure.
The cuts, which follow previous rounds totaling over 27,000 jobs since 2022, are tied to AI-driven automation and strategic shifts under CEO Andy Jassy, who has urged employees to adopt AI skills.
While the company has not confirmed the layoffs, it plans to hire 250,000 temporary workers for the 2025 holiday season, highlighting a contrast between corporate downsizing and frontline expansion.
