Published Mar 20th, 2023 12:26PM EDTMajor layoffs in the tech sector continue to grow with the latest being another round from Amazon., Amazon CEO Andy Jassy announced that the company plans to lay off 9,000 more employees “in the next few weeks.” According to the statement, the layoffs will predominantly affect employees in Amazon Web Services , the Prime Experience Team , the company’s advertising team, and Twitch.
Jassy attributes the latest round of layoffs to the same thing that other tech CEOs have pointed to — the economy. The CEO said that “given the uncertain economy in which we reside, and the uncertainty that exists in the near future, we have chosen to be more streamlined in our costs and headcount.
The company says that it will have all of its layoff decisions finalized “mid to late April.” Impacted employees will receive “separation payment, transitional health insurance benefits, and external job placement support.” This latest round of layoffs comes after the company let go of approximately 18,000 employees last year — according to Amazon’s estimate.

That’s true with today’s announcement as well. So, if you’re an Amazon employee, you’re going to still be waiting to find out if you have a job next month.
