Amazon Layoff: At least 2,300 Amazon employees in the Seattle region are losing their jobs as part of Amazon new round of layoffs, according to a notice filed with the Washington state Employment Security Department on Wednesday afternoon. -- aaa

Amazon is set to kickoff a round of layoffs that will affect more than 18,000 employees in the largest job cut in its history. The company had announced earlier this month that it was going to lay off people, joining the likes of Microsoft, Twitter and Meta. The jobs cuts are being attributed to the slowing online sales growth as the e-commerce to streaming conglomerate braces for a possible recession. The expected recession is likely to affect the spending power of its customers.

The biggest Amazon layoff will affect around 6% of the company's corporate employees. Here's when the termination will start and other details.

With over 24,000 tech workers let go by 91 organisations in the first 15 days of this month, the New Year of 2023 got off to a rough start.

Amazon has begun the layoff process in India. Many departments will be affected.

Amazon India layoff: Impacted by the job cut, a Gurugram-based software engineer who had worked for Amazon for five years, was laid off on January 11.

The layoffs impacted both freshers and experienced employees at Amazon India offices in Bengaluru, Gurugram and other places.

On Grapevine, a community app for Indian professionals, an Amazon India employee posted sad scenes at offices, including people crying after the announcement of layoffs.
