Amazon is planning to cut over 18,000 roles as part of major layoffs.
The tech giant will be slashing around 6 per cent of its 300,000 employees in a big blow to workers struggling with the cost-of-living crisis across the globe. Amazon employs around 5,000 people in Ireland.
Back in November 2022, it was reported that the company was planning to cut 10,000 jobs across their worldwide operations. However, then-Tanaiste Leo Varadkar had said the initial advice from the IDA stated that there were no job losses are currently anticipated for Ireland.
