Amazon is firing more employees in a new round of trimmed. This time, the tech company is eliminating the “small number of roles” in its communication department, as part of its ongoing efforts to streamline operations and reduce costs. This step is part of Amazon’s comprehensive strategy to cut bureaucracy and improve the company’s efficiency, which helps teams to move faster and get closer to customers.
A Amazon spokesman, Brad Glasser, confirmed Bloomberg’s decision and said the company had recently reviewed its communication and corporate responsibility. Based on this, Amazon decided to make changes, including elimination of some roles.
“These decisions are never easy,” said the Glasser, “but they are required to move fast, increase ownership and strengthen our culture, while our teams bring closer to customers. We are committed to supporting the affected employees during this infection. “
The trimmed Amazon’s CEO, Andy comes as Jassi, continues its efforts to reopen the company after its appointment in 2021 as CEO. Since taking over from founder Jeff Bezos, Jassi has looked after a series of job cuts and returned to several ambitious projects. It is no longer alignment with Amazon’s main occupation. This includes thousands of job cuts in the company as part of the widespread effort to tighten operations.
Amazon’s biggest wave of job cuts occurred in 2022, affecting 27,000 corporate roles in various departments. Since that time, the company has taken small, more concentrated trimmed, targeting specific teams and areas that require downsizing. The communication department is the latest affected because Amazon continues to cut costs and find ways to operate more efficiently.
In addition to pruning, Amazon has implemented a return-to-office mandate for its corporate staff, which requires them to work from the office five days a week. Many saw it as a way to encourage voluntary resignation, although Jassi said that the step was about implementing Amazon’s corporate culture.
In September, Jassy directed the authorities to reorganize their commercial units by the end of March, focusing on reducing the number of managers relative to individual contributors. The goal is to simplify the management structure, make a hurry to decision making, and ensure that teams are more agitated in response to the needs of the team.
While the latest pruning can increase concerns between employees, Amazon has stated that it is committed to help the affected workers through the transition process. Although the company has not specified the exact number of affected employees, it stressed that support would be available for those who lost their jobs.
