Amazon has over the past months laid off hundreds of staff in divisions, including its Prime Video service, health care business and Alexa voice assistant unit
Amazon Web Services has eliminated several hundred sales, marketing and tech roles, it said on Wednesday, the latest in a series of job cuts by its parent Amazon.com
“We’ve identified a few targeted areas of the organization we need to streamline,” an AWS spokesperson said on mail. More than 57,000 workers have been laid off across 229 firms so far this year, according to tracking website Layoffs.fyi. The cut at AWS’ 60,000-strong sales, marketing and global services division are likely part of a broad reorganization under sales chief Matt Garman, according to news site The Information, which first reported the development.
