Amazon announced Wednesday it will cut 16,000 corporate positions, marking the company’s second major layoff in the past four months. The layoffs represent the latest large-scale workforce cuts since October, when Amazon cut 14,000 roles.
Internal Slack messages reportedly revealed that those hit by the latest round of layoffs are employees in the US, UK and India.
According to those messages, employees in the US, UK and India have been informed about the job cuts, Business Insider reports, adding that the affected groups span multiple areas of the business.

The report said those affected in the latest layoffs include Amazon Web Services teams, such as the Bedrock AI cloud service, Redshift Cloud Data Warehouse and ProServ Consulting unit, as well as retail-focused teams such as the Prime subscription business and last-mile delivery experience organization.
Many of the employees affected by the cuts, who posted for job leads in the internal Slack channel, were working in software engineering positions.
Amazon said it is giving “most” US-based employees 90 days to find another role within the company. Employees who do not secure a new position, or choose not to take the job, will be eligible for assistance that includes severance pay and continued health insurance coverage.
While the company employs more than 1.5 million people worldwide, its corporate employees make up a very small portion of that figure, totaling about 350,000 employees.
Details of the planned layoffs may have been revealed ahead of time after a calendar invitation sent from one of Amazon’s top executives inadvertently revealed information about the cuts.
