HR, Operations, Devices, and Services Are Reportedly Seeing Cuts
Who’s on the chopping block this week? The new cuts “may impact a variety of divisions within Amazon, including human resources, known as People Experience and Technology, devices and services and operations, among others,” sources say.
These particular cuts haven’t been explicitly tied to AI innovations. However, in June 2025, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that AI tools would likely impact jobs, saying “We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs.”
Analyst Sky Canaves also notes that Amazon is under pressure to deliver short-term benefits in order to offset the long-term investment costs of creating its AI infrastructure.
