flag Amazon is cutting 14,000 corporate jobs to focus on AI and efficiency, following prior layoffs.

flag Amazon is cutting about 14,000 corporate jobs—roughly 4% of its workforce—as part of a major restructuring to boost efficiency and accelerate investment in artificial intelligence. flag The layoffs, affecting primarily corporate roles in areas like HR, finance, and admin, follow CEO Andy Jassy’s push to make the company more agile and startup-like. flag Affected employees will get up to 90 days to find internal positions, severance, outplacement services, and continued health benefits. flag The move supports Amazon’s broader strategy to expand AI infrastructure, including a $10 billion data center campus in North Carolina and projects in other states. flag This marks the largest single reduction since 2023 and reflects a trend among tech firms to reallocate resources toward AI despite ongoing economic uncertainty.
