‘Difficult decision’: Amazon CEO says more layoffs will happen in 2023

Amazon will cut jobs again in early 2023, said chief executive officer Andy Jassy in a memo to his employees as he announced the annual planning process will be extended.

“Those decisions will be shared with impacted employees and organizations early in 2023,” said Jassy on Thursday, meaning there will be more role reductions.

According to a report in the ‘New York Times’, Amazon plans to lay off about 10,000 employees. However, Jassy’s memo did not specify how many people would be impacted.

He said the company has not concluded yet exactly how many roles will be impacted, but each leader will communicate to their teams when they have the details.
