Mayhem at Amazon Amid 30,000 Job Cuts: AI - Easy Corporate Excuse? | Global Pulse

Amazon has just dropped a bombshell. 30,000 of its corporate jobs are being cut starting this week. These will be the biggest mass layoffs by the e-commerce giant since 2022, when it began to eliminate around 27,000 positions. Clearly the news has shaken the entire tech world. The figure of 30,000 may seem like a small percentage of Amazon's total workforce of 1.55 million, but that’s actually nearly 10 per cent of its corporate employees. What explains this bloodbath? Who is to blame? AI revolution or a return-to-office policy? #amazon #layoffs #layoffs2025 #techlayoffs #artificialintelligence #ai #joblosses #jobcuts Times Of India (TOI) Is The Largest Selling English Daily In The World.
