Amazon rumored to lay off another 14,000 employees

```htmlGolden Ten Data, April 7｜According to Leifeng.com, reports indicate that Amazon is planning a new round of large-scale layoffs, expected to be executed in May 2026, impacting approximately 14,000 employees worldwide. Unlike previous localized optimizations, this adjustment will involve multiple core departments including AWS cloud services, retail, and human resources, and some teams in the China region may also face complete elimination. The layoffs mainly target white-collar staff and middle management (levels L5-L7), while blue-collar positions such as warehouse and logistics are currently safe. The reasons include over-expansion during the pandemic, AI technology replacing certain functions, and ongoing cost-cutting pressures. The company is accelerating its transition to AI, streamlining its organization, and eliminating redundant or inefficient positions.```
