Amazon is reported to start the second round of layoffs next week, affecting over ten thousand people.

According to informed sources, American e-commerce giant Amazon plans to conduct a second round of layoffs next week, as part of its large-scale layoff plan of around 30,000 employees. The company cut approximately 14,000 white-collar positions in October of last year, about half of the initially reported target of 30,000 positions. The total number of layoffs this round is expected to be roughly the same as in October of last year, and could start as early as next Tuesday. Sources say that departments affected by this round of layoffs will include Amazon Web Services, the retail department, Prime Video department, and the human resources department, but the specific scope of the impact is not yet clear.
