Amazon’s layoffs announced on Wednesday<\/a> will continue into early 2023, CEO Andy Jassy said in a letter to employees<\/a> posted yesterday. He said that the company “hired rapidly” over the last few years but “the economy remains in a challenging spot.” With annual planning now extending into the new year, “there will be more role reductions as leaders continue to make adjustments,” he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jassy didn’t say how many people would be laid off or when, but noted that there would be “reductions in our Stores and PXT [people, experience and technology] organizations.” He added that the company will inform impacted employees well before any layoffs are made public.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On Wednesday, the head of Amazon’s hardware division, Dave Limp, said that the company would consolidate team and “some roles will no longer be required.” According to a report in The New York Times<\/em><\/a>, as many as 10,000 jobs could be cut as a result of the changes. The company said it would extend voluntary buyouts and provide employees with “a package that includes a separation payment, transitional benefits, and external job placement support.” Some workers may also be able to find different roles within the company.<\/p>\n

Amazon is the latest tech giant to implement mass layoffs over the last few weeks. Meta cut 11,000 jobs<\/a> last week, its first-ever mass-layoffs, and Twitter recently laid off about half<\/a> its staff and cut thousands<\/a> of contractor jobs. In addition, a large number of Twitter employees reportedly left the company<\/a> following the deadline of Elon Musk’s “hardcore” ultimatum.\u00a0<\/p>\n
