Amazon to cut about 16,000 corporate roles in latest layoff wave

Posted on January 29, 2026May 2, 2026 By Ronny Fiksdahl

Amazon confirms further layoffs — about 16,000 corporate roles impacted

Amazon says it’s eliminating around 16,000 corporate roles as part of an ongoing restructuring, following another wave of corporate cuts in October 2025. For a recent example of our coverage format, see:
Outside the Blocks — Cozy Diorama Building Meets Creative Freedom (GOTW #30).

Amazon hasn’t shared a unit-by-unit breakdown (including for gaming-adjacent teams such as Twitch, Prime Gaming, or Amazon Games). In the U.S., affected employees are being given time to seek internal roles before separation, while timelines vary by country.
