Seattle: US online retailing giant Amazon said Tuesday that it is eliminating 14,000 jobs to streamline its operations, without saying where the cuts will come.
According to Bangladesh Sangbad Sangstha, the company stated on its website that the staff reductions were a “continuation” of its efforts “to get even stronger by further reducing bureaucracy, removing layers, and shifting resources to ensure we’re investing in our biggest bets and what matters most to our customers’ current and future needs.”
The announcement further clarified that while the company will be reducing staff in some areas, it will continue hiring in others. However, the overall impact will result in a reduction of approximately 14,000 roles in its corporate workforce.
