According to Reuters, Amazon plans to lay off up to 30,000 employees, potentially starting as early as Tuesday. These layoffs, representing approximately 10% of the company's white-collar workforce and its largest since 2022 (27,000 employees), will affect business units such as human resources, cloud computing, and advertising. Amazon's CEO stated in June that the increased use of AI tools could lead to further layoffs, particularly in areas that automate repetitive tasks.
