Amazon is cutting about 16,000 corporate jobs, its second large reduction since October 2025, saying it wants to remove management layers and bureaucracy across the company.
Amazon said it would cut about 14,000 corporate jobs so it could run more like a startup, giving most affected employees 90 days to look for other roles inside the company.

Press reported AI: CBS tied the cuts to Amazon's AI push; the memo noted AI's pace of change but gave a leaner structure as the reason.
Each layoff is an announcement a company made or confirmed, with at least one source. Employee totals add the numbers as stated: “about”, “at least” and “up to” figures count as given, and layoffs without a number count toward companies and layoffs only. Headquarters filters use where a company is based, not where the cuts happen.
