Amazon has announced another major round of job cuts, signaling continued changes in the company’s workforce strategy after years of rapid expansion. With this move, Amazon’s total job cuts over the past year have climbed to nearly 30,000 employees. Why Amazon Is Cutting Jobs AgainAccording to Amazon, the latest layoffs are part of broader organisational changes aimed at making the company leaner and more efficient. While many teams completed their restructuring efforts earlier, some divisions took longer to finalise changes, leading to the latest round of job cuts. Most US-based employees will be given 90 days to apply for internal roles within the company.
