In addition, Amazon announced on March 20, 2023 that it will make additional reductions to more than 9,000 employees, and notified those eligible for dismissal by email.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said of the job cuts: 'Given the uncertain economy Amazon faces today and the uncertainty we face in the future, we are determined to further streamline our costs and headcount. I have chosen,' he said. ``The top priority of Amazon's annual plan for this year was to make the company leaner while meaningfully improving the lives of customers and Amazon as a whole,'' he said.
The employees to be fired this time are mainly employees in AWS, Twitch, advertising, and human resources departments. Twitch CEO Dan Clancy said, 'I would like to share with Twitch employees that we have made the difficult decision to downsize our workforce and as a result have to say goodbye to over 400 employees. I did.”
“Like many companies, our business has been impacted by the economic downturn, and our user and revenue growth has not kept up with our expectations. We have decided to reduce the size of our workforce.'
An Amazon spokesperson did not disclose at what percentage Amazon will cut employees in AWS, advertising, and human resources.
