Amazon may soon lay off more employees, according to recent media reports. The company is said to be planning another round of job cuts that could affect thousands of workers.
This news comes just three months after Amazon announced that it would cut 14,000 jobs. At that time, the company said the decision was part of efforts to reduce costs and adjust to changing business needs. Now, reports suggest that more layoffs could happen in the coming days.
International news agencies Reuters and Bloomberg reported on Friday that Amazon’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Andy Jassy, is expected to announce further job cuts soon. Although the exact number has not been shared, sources say the layoffs could be in the thousands.
Reports also suggest that this new round of job losses may be similar in size to previous layoffs carried out by the company. Like many other large technology firms, Amazon has been reviewing its operations due to slower growth and higher expenses after the pandemic.
So far, Amazon has not made any official statement about these reports. The company has neither confirmed nor denied the plans for additional layoffs.
Many technology companies around the world are currently reducing staff as they try to save money and focus on long-term stability. Until Amazon makes an official announcement, employees and the public will have to wait to see what steps the company will take next.
