Amazon Layoff: The next wave of layoffs at Amazon could begin next Tuesday. This upcoming round could affect approximately 16,000 more employees. 

A tsunami of layoffs...! 16,000 people will be laid off next week.

Amazon Layoff: Amazon is planning another round of layoffs. Reports claim that the company may lay off approximately 16,000 people. This is part of a restructuring drive the company initiated a few months ago, which includes plans to lay off 30,000 employees.

The initial round of layoffs involved approximately 14,000 people, but now reports indicate that the next wave of layoffs could begin next Tuesday. This upcoming round of layoffs at Amazon could affect approximately 16,000 more employees. 

The impact will be visible in India as well.

If the layoffs do indeed occur, they would be the largest in the company's history, surpassing Amazon's own 27,000-employee layoffs in 2023. Furthermore, while previous layoffs were mostly US-based, this time they are expected to impact many teams operating in India as well. It is reported that the layoffs will occur across several major divisions, such as Prime Video and AWS.

Round 2 starts Tuesday! 

According to a Reuters report citing people familiar with the matter, Amazon plans to launch its second major round of corporate job cuts on Tuesday, January 27. The company already eliminated approximately 14,000 white-collar positions last October, and this next wave is expected to be of a similar scale.

While Amazon hasn't officially confirmed the exact date, discussions on social media platforms like Reddit, LinkedIn posts, and Blind suggest that layoff notifications could begin arriving as early as the beginning of the week. Some employees have also claimed that those already on Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs) may be notified before others.

Danger alarm on

This time, teams from Amazon Web Services (AWS), Retail Operations, Prime Video, and the People Experience and Technology (PXT) division, Amazon's internal HR wing, are reportedly likely to be affected. Overall, the layoffs will mostly focus on higher-paying corporate jobs rather than warehouse or delivery staff.
