Amazon announced plans to cut 14,000 corporate jobs as part of a restructuring effort to streamline operations and adapt to rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI). The move, detailed by senior vice president Beth Galetti in a company blog post, aims to make Amazon “leaner” and more responsive to technological change.

Galetti said the company needs “fewer layers and more ownership” to move faster and innovate in an AI-driven marketplace. While layoffs will take place across multiple divisions, Amazon expects to continue hiring in select areas in 2026.
The cuts are smaller than earlier reports suggesting up to 30,000 job losses. Amazon’s announcement follows other corporate layoffs this week at Target and Paramount Skydance.

The company plans to lay off as many as 30,000 employees across its corporate workforce.
Despite the reduction, Amazon shares rose 0.6% in premarket trading, signaling investor confidence.
Analysts say the move reflects how AI is reshaping corporate structures and employment across industries.
