American online shopping giant Amazon has announced that it will lay off an additional 9,000 people.
This was reported by Ukrinform with reference to Reuters.
“Given the uncertainty in the economy we live in and the uncertainty that exists in the near future, we have decided to be more rational in our spending and headcount,” Amazon CEO Andy Jassy told company employees.
The layoffs will particularly impact Amazon Web Services, HR, advertising and the Twitch live streaming service. Dan Clancy, who was named CEO of Twitch last week, said the platform will lay off more than 400 employees.
Amazon plans to finalize who will be laid off in a new wave of layoffs by April.
The company’s shares fell by 1.8 percent.
At the beginning of January, the American company Amazon announced plans to lay off more than 18,000 workers, which will be the largest reduction in its history, as Ukrinform reported.
