Amazon plans to cut more than 18,000 jobs, with most of the losses coming from its shops including Amazon Fresh and Go, and its PXT organizations, which handle human resources and other functions.
The retail giant, which employs 1.5 million people worldwide, did not say which countries the job cuts would be focused on but it is understood it will include Europe.
At this stage, it is unclear how many redundancies are going to be made in the UK.
