E-commerce giant Amazon is set to cut nearly 16,000 jobs, marking its largest round of layoffs since October 2025, as the company continues a broad organisational restructuring.
In a blog post on Tuesday, Amazon said the cuts are part of ongoing efforts to reduce management layers, increase ownership, and streamline decision-making across the company. Beth Galetti, Senior Vice President of People and Experience, said the changes would affect 'some of our teammates across multiple teams.
Galetti explained that while many departments completed their restructuring plans in October, others only finalised their changes in recent weeks, leading to the latest reductions.
