Amazon Announces 16,000 Job Cuts in Latest Layoff Round

Amazon announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 16,000 employees, marking the latest round of mass layoffs in the tech industry. The announcement was made Wednesday by Beth Galetti, a senior vice president at Amazon, in a blog post, according to CBS News.

The cuts follow a previous round of layoffs in October, when Amazon laid off 14,000 workers. According to ABC News, Amazon has been "working to strengthen our organization by reducing layers." Galetti stated in an email to staff that the company seeks to "strengthen" its business by reducing "layers" and "bureaucracy" within its workforce.

Galetti said that U.S.-based staff would be given 90 days to look for a new role internally before being offered severance pay, outplacement services, and health insurance benefits, CBS News reported. The company said it was "working hard to support everyone whose role is impacted," according to ABC News.
