Amazon CEO Andy Jassy is pushing for a major restructuring to make the company operate like a startup, leading to significant layoffs and a return to in-office work. The latest round of cuts will affect around 14,000 employees, adding to over 27,000 job losses since late 2022, as Jassy aims to flatten management layers and improve efficiency amid rising competition and costs.

Amazon announced it will cut 16,000 corporate jobs, part of a broader effort to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy. This move follows a previous reduction of 14,000 jobs in October, indicating ongoing adjustments as the company shifts its focus towards efficiency and artificial intelligence.
