Amazon Cuts Nearly 1,000 Jobs in Retail Division Amid Ongoing Restructuring
Amazon has cut fewer than 1,000 white-collar jobs, mainly in its Stores division overseeing the main e-commerce website, affecting employees in the US, India, and the UK. These layoffs coincide with Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days sales event and follow a larger reduction of around 30,000 jobs since late 2025. The company stated the cuts aim to better align its structure with business priorities amid ongoing investments in artificial intelligence and cloud infrastructure. Affected employees have discussed severance and transition support on internal channels.
