"Amazon is cutting around 14,000 corporate jobs as part of a sweeping restructuring designed to streamline operations and integrate artificial intelligence more deeply into the company's global business. The reductions, which will primarily affect the company's corporate and administrative divisions, are aimed at reducing operational layers and enabling faster decision-making as Amazon invests billions in generative AI and automation."
"Despite the reductions, Amazon said it would continue to hire in strategic growth areas through 2026 - particularly in cloud computing, generative AI, robotics, and logistics technology, where demand remains strong. The restructuring will see Amazon consolidate overlapping corporate functions and simplify management structures across key business units, including AWS (Amazon Web Services), retail, and Prime Video."
