Twitch, the gaming platform Amazon owns, will also see some layoffs as well as Amazon's PXT organizations, which handle human resources and other functions. The job cuts announced Monday will hit profitable areas for the company including its highly profitable cloud computing unit Amazon Web Services (AWS) and its burgeoning advertising business.
Facebook parent company Meta slashes 10,000 jobs. Amazon confirms layoff of about 10,000 staff worldwide. The short answer is that not all of the teams were done with their analyses in the late fall and rather than rush through these assessments without the appropriate diligence, we chose to share these decisions as we've made them so people had the information as soon as possible," Jassy said. "Some may ask why we didn't announce these role reductions with the ones we announced a couple months ago. He said Amazon will still hire in some strategic areas. In the memo, Jassy said the second phase of the company's annual planning process completed this month led to the additional job cuts. Tech companies have announced tens of thousands of job cuts this year. The company's workforce doubled during the pandemic, however, in the midst of a hiring surge across almost the entire tech sector. The job cuts would mark the second largest round of layoffs in the company's history, adding to the 18,000 employees the tech giant said it would lay off in January. 
Amazon plans to eliminate 9,000 more jobs in the next few weeks, CEO Andy Jassy said in a memo to staff on Monday.
