Amazon to layoff 10,000 employees: Report
Joining other technology companies that are laying off workers to battle global economic headwinds, Amazon is expected to cut close to 10,000 employees by the end of this week, according to a report from The New York Times.
The job cuts, which would represent just a small fraction of Amazon's 1.5 million-strong workforce, are expected to include technology as well as corporate positions, the report says, citing sources with knowledge of the matter.
Jobs at Amazon devices, Alexa and corporate positions in its retail business including human resources are under consideration, the report said.
