Amazon is reportedly preparing another round of layoffs that could cut as much as 15% of its human resources division, with additional job losses expected in other areas, according to Fortune.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said earlier this year that the company expects artificial intelligence to reduce its corporate workforce in the coming years.
In a memo sent to Amazon employees and posted publicly, Jassy prepared employees for the potential layoffs as the company begins to utilize AI more effectively in different industries.
Two sources told Fortune that the company’s People eXperience Technology team—known internally as PXT—will face major cuts. Amazon’s consumer business divisions may also see reductions, though the total number of affected employees remains unclear.
Amazon spokesperson Kelly Nantel declined to comment.
The PXT division, led by Senior Vice President Beth Galetti, employs more than 10,000 people globally, including recruiters, engineers, and other HR staff. The move marks the latest effort by Amazon to lower costs while investing heavily in artificial intelligence products and infrastructure.
The company expects to spend more than $100 billion this year on capital expenditures to expand its cloud and AI data centers.
The planned cuts follow earlier layoffs in 2023 that affected Amazon Web Services, the Wondery podcast unit, and the company’s consumer devices group.
CEO Andy Jassy previously oversaw the largest layoffs in Amazon’s history between 2022 and 2023, eliminating about 27,000 corporate jobs. The reductions came as post-pandemic consumer trends shifted and Big Tech companies across the board restructured their operations.
In a June companywide email, Jassy encouraged employees to adapt to AI-driven change. “Those who embrace this change, become conversant in AI, help us build and improve our AI capabilities internally and deliver for customers, will be well-positioned to have high impact and help us reinvent the company,” he wrote.
Jassy also acknowledged that efficiency gains from AI adoption would shrink Amazon’s workforce. “We expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company,” he said.
At the same time, Amazon announced plans to hire 250,000 seasonal workers across its U.S. warehouse and logistics network for the holidays.
Amazon’s stock has risen 15% over the past year, though it remains down slightly in 2025. The company will report its latest earnings later this month.
