Amazon is planning to sack about 10,000 of its workforce in the corporate and technology department this week, according toSources told New York Times that the cuts would focus on Amazon’s devices organisation, the voice assistant Alexa, as well as at its retail division and human resources.
“The number of layoffs remains fluid and is likely to roll out team by team rather than all at once as each business finishes plans,” sources said.“But if it stays around 10,000, it would represent roughly 3 percent of Amazon’s corporate employees and less than 1 percent of its global workforce of more than 1.5 million, which is primarily composed of hourly workers.
