Description

Amazon plans to eliminate 9,000 more jobs in the next few weeks, CEO Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff on Monday. The job cuts would mark the second largest round of layoffs in the company's history, adding to the 18,000 employees the company said it would lay off in January. Yet the company's workforce doubled during the pandemic, however, during a hiring surge across almost the entire tech sector. In the memo, Jassy said the second phase of the company's annual planning process - which determined what areas of the business to trim - completed this month and led to the additional job cuts. He said Amazon will still hire in some strategic areas.
