Amazon.com Inc’s (AMZN.O) job cuts will now impact more than 18,000 roles as part of a workforce reduction it previously disclosed, Chief Executive Andy Jassy said in a public staff note on Wednesday.
The Seattle-based company began layoffs in its devices division in November, with a source telling Reuters at the time that Amazon was targeting 10,000 job cuts in gadgets as well as its human-resources and retail divisions.
