Amazon is preparing for a second massive wave of corporate layoffs this week, targeting departments including AWS, Retail, Prime Video, and HR. This move is part of a broader strategy to eliminate approximately 30,000 corporate roles—nearly 10% of its white-collar workforce—marking the largest reduction in the company's history.
