Amazon plans thousands of job cuts, and warns managers to prepare, according to internal messages

https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-layoffs-plans-thousands-warns-managers-memo-prepare-2025-10

"Amazon is planning thousands of job cuts across its corporate workforce, and managers have been warned to prepare for an announcement this week, according to people familiar with the matter, an internal document, and internal messages seen by Business Insider.
The move is expected to be announced on Tuesday, and will impact employees in the US, the UK, and Canada, according to recent internal messages sent to Amazon managers.

A draft email that's due to go out to impacted employees noted that Amazon is eliminating jobs "after a thorough review of our organization, our priorities, and what we need to focus on going forward." The draft document also described a severance package that includes full pay and benefits for the next 90 days. Business Insider viewed a copy of this draft email, along with copies of the internal messages to Amazon managers.
Various teams within Amazon, including human resources and retail, will be affected, the people familiar said. Thousand of employees will likely be eliminated, these people added, while asking not to be identified discussing sensitive topics. An Amazon spokesperson didn't respond to a request for comment.

Reuters reported the cuts this week could impact as many as 30,000 employees. That would represent roughly 10% of Amazon's corporate workforce."

I looked it up to make sure I wasn’t making stuff up and it’s just record profits every quarter! But it’s not enough. It’s never enough for these sociopaths.
