New YorkCNN — Amazon says it plans to lay off more than 18,000 employees as the global economic outlook continues to worsen.
Several teams will be affected, including the human resources department and Amazon Stores, according to a memo from CEO Andy Jassy shared with employees.
“Companies that last a long time go through different phases. They’re not in heavy people expansion mode every year,” he said.
Jassy had said in November that job cuts at the e-commerce giant would continue into early 2023. Multiple outlets reported in the fall that Amazon had planned to cut around 10,000 employees.
