flag Amazon cuts 16,000 corporate jobs globally in second major layoff, citing AI and efficiency, not financial issues.

flag Amazon is cutting about 16,000 corporate jobs worldwide, marking its second major round of layoffs in three months as part of a restructuring to reduce bureaucracy and accelerate AI-driven transformation. flag The cuts, which largely affect office roles and not warehouse workers, follow an earlier reduction of 14,000 positions. flag Despite strong financial results, Amazon said the move is aimed at long-term efficiency and technological shifts rather than cost distress. flag Affected employees will receive severance, outplacement support, and 90 days to apply for internal roles, reflecting a wider tech industry push toward automation and leaner organizations.
