Overview
- Amazon said about 14,000 administrative roles will be eliminated as part of organizational changes focused on efficiency.
- Most affected employees will have 90 days to seek internal roles and receive transition support, including severance.
- The reductions target office functions rather than warehouse and delivery operations, with areas like HR and devices cited in earlier reporting.
- Prior media reports of up to 30,000 cuts remain unconfirmed, and leadership signaled ongoing reviews that could lead to further adjustments while hiring continues in strategic teams.
- The announcement follows a broader shift toward AI and robotics, with reporting on expanded warehouse automation and internal goals to automate more operations over the coming years.
