According to Reuters, Amazon is preparing to trim a substantial number of corporate roles in another round of layoffs, with some actions potentially starting as soon as Tuesday. The move would follow the company’s previous layoffs of about 14,000 corporate positions last October.

The Reuters piece is described as an exclusive and cites multiple people familiar with the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity. Details on the scope, exact timing, and which business units might be affected remain unclear and could change as plans evolve.

This potential wave of cuts appears to be part of ongoing cost-control and restructuring efforts at the tech giant. No official confirmation from Amazon has been provided yet, and Reuters notes that the plans could shift before any formal layoffs occur.
