According to New York Times, Amazon is considering laying off 10,000 workers. The tech giant has 1.5 million workers and is one of the largest employers in the United States of America. The layoffs will take place next week.
It’s the company’s largest cut yet, accounting for 3% of corporate workers and less than 1% of total workers.
According to sources who have requested anonymity to New York Times, The cuts will focus on Amazon’s device organization, including the Alexa voice assistant, as well as its retail division and human resources..
The company announced that its economy is not going through a good time and that, as a result, they have had to stop hiring. According to the vice president of the People and Technology Experience section, Beth Galleti: “we will maintain this pause for the next few months and continue to monitor what we are seeing in the economy and in the business to make the necessary adjustments.”
The most striking thing about this situation is that Amazon is doing this just before Christmas, since it is an opportunity to improve the economy of companies like Amazon.
If the layoffs take place next week, Amazon won’t be the first to cut back; Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, Twitter and companies in the sector have sent thousands of people out of work.
