Amazon Set to Cut Thousands More Corporate Jobs as Cost-Cutting Continues.
Amazon.com Inc. is preparing to lay off thousands more corporate employees as part of its ongoing effort to streamline management layers, Bloomberg reported, citing sources familiar with the matter. The layoffs could begin as early as next week.
This comes months after Amazon announced 14,000 corporate job cuts in October 2025, with the company warning that additional reductions could follow in 2026. Managers were given the option to implement the cuts immediately or defer them to the new year.
The current layoffs focus on Amazon’s corporate workforce of roughly 3,50,000, while the company’s global headcount stands at about 1.57 million, most of whom work in warehouses. Past rounds include 27,000 jobs cut in 2022–23, 370 in Luxembourg in December 2025, and 84 in Greece.
Amazon has notified Washington authorities under the WARN Act, which mandates disclosure of large-scale layoffs. CEO Andy Jassy has also said that the adoption of generative AI could further reduce the corporate workforce in the coming years.
