In another push to reduce costs and trim workforce, Amazon announced Monday its plans to lay off another 9,000 employees, bringing its total job cuts to 27,000 since November.
CEO Andy Jassy told employees Monday the company had finished another round of its annual cost-cutting review and decided to eliminate more roles in the next few weeks. The job cuts will come mostly from Amazon Web Services, advertising, human resources and Twitch, the gaming division.
Amazon has not yet decided “precisely which roles will be impacted” as the teams continue to make final decisions, Jassy said. It hopes to communicate with impacted employees by mid to late April. The impact on Seattle-area workers wasn’t immediately clear.
