The development comes just months after the e-commerce giant in January this year, said it will lay off over 18,000 employees, amid a rush of other tech companies downsizing their head count.
Jassy, in an email to staff, cited “uncertain economy” and “rapid hiring” as reasons behind the job cuts.
“As we’ve just concluded the second phase of our operating plan (“OP2”) this past week, I’m writing to share that we intend to eliminate about 9,000 more positions in the next few weeks—mostly in AWS, PXT, Advertising, and Twitch,” he said in the post.
