Amazon to Cut 15% of Global HR Staff as AI Takes Over Employee Systems
Amazon Layoff: According to media reports, Amazon may once again announce layoffs. It is claimed that the company plans to eliminate approximately 15% of positions in its global HR organization, the People Experience Technology (PTX) team.
E-commerce and cloud giant Amazon might again make announcements of layoffs after the year 2025. The company is said to have mostly concentrated this time on the Human Resources (HR) department because Amazon is pushing AI technology further into its systems.
According to media reports, the company is planning to eliminate approximately 15% of positions in its global HR organization, the People Experience Technology (PTX) team. The PTX team, which handles all employee-related technology features and experiences, employs over 10,000 employees worldwide.
Amazon says this move is part of a broader strategy to reduce costs and increase efficiency. While the HR department will be primarily affected, job cuts are also expected in other departments within the core consumer business.
