"That starts with offering most US-based employees 90 days to look for a new role internally. Timing will vary internationally based on local and country level requirements. Then, for teammates who are unable to find a new role at Amazon or who choose not to look for one, we'll provide transition support including severance pay, outplacement services, health insurance benefits, as applicable, and more."
"But just as we always have, every team will continue to evaluate the ownership, speed, and capacity to invent for customers, and make adjustments as appropriate... While we're making these changes, we'll also continue hiring and investing in strategic areas and functions that are critical to our future. We're still in the early stages of building every one of our businesses and there's significant opportunity ahead."
Amazon will reduce roughly 16,000 roles globally. Most US-based employees will be given 90 days to search internally. International implementation will vary by local and country-level requirements. Employees unable to find or who choose not to seek new roles will receive transition support including severance, outplacement services, and health insurance benefits as applicable. Ireland, where the company employs about 6,500 people, is likely to be affected. The changes aim to reduce layers, increase ownership, and remove bureaucracy while continuing to hire in strategic areas rather than holding regular interval reductions.
