Amazon targets as many as 30,000 corporate job cuts 

Amazon is planning to cut as many as 30,000 corporate jobs beginning, as the company pares expenses and compensates for overhiring during the peak demand of the pandemic, according to three people familiar with the matter. 

Why it matters

The cuts beginning this week may affect a variety of divisions, including human resources, known as People Experience and Technology or PXT; operations, devices and services; and Amazon Web Services, the people said.
