Amazon laying off dozens in communications department, Bloomberg says

Amazon is cutting dozens of jobs in its communications unit in an effort to cut costs, Bloomberg’s Spencer Soper and Vinicy Chan report. “Following a recent review, we’re making some changes to the Communications & Corporate Responsibility organization to help us move faster, increase ownership, strengthen our culture, and bring teams closer to customers,” Amazon spokesperson Brad Glasser said in an emailed statement. “As part of these changes, we’ve made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of roles. We don’t make these decisions lightly, and we’re committed to supporting affected employees through their transitions.” Amazon initiated its biggest-ever corporate job cuts in 2022, which ultimately affected 27,000 positions across the company, and has since implemented smaller rounds of layoffs targeting particular departments and roles.
