"Amazon is preparing to cut as much as 15% of its human resources staff, with additional layoffs likely in other divisions, according to multiple sources familiar with the plans. Two sources told Fortune that Amazon's human resources division-known internally as PXT or the People eXperience Technology team-will be hard hit, but that other areas of Amazon's core consumer business are also likely to be affected."
"Amazon's PXT division, which reports to senior vice president Beth Galetti, has more than 10,000 employees worldwide, and includes a large recruiting team, plus technology staff and other traditional HR roles. The new cuts come as Amazon continues to look for ways to lower employee costs while investing aggressively in AI products and infrastructure - both for internal use and to sell to enterprise customers."
Amazon is preparing to reduce human resources headcount by as much as 15%, with additional layoffs likely across parts of its core consumer business. PXT, the People eXperience Technology division reporting to senior vice president Beth Galetti, employs more than 10,000 people and includes recruiting, technology, and traditional HR roles. The company previously enacted smaller layoffs this year in consumer devices, Wondery, and AWS, and cut roughly 27,000 corporate jobs during 2022–2023. Amazon intends to lower employee costs while investing heavily in AI products and infrastructure, including over $100 billion in capital expenditures for cloud and AI datacenters.
