Amazon (AMZN) is making major cuts to its corporate workforce for the second time in less than six months as it continues to adjust its staffing plans following a surge of hiring during the pandemic.

Amazon is laying off 16,000 employees, the company’s second round of massive job reductions in two months as it fights to improve its standing in the battle for AI supremacy.

Amazon did not allow talent to opt out of working on Melania for political reasons, a new report alleges. That order came straight from Amazon’s leadership, forcing studio staff to choose between working on an absurdly expensive documentary about Melania Trump or risk losing their jobs,

Amazon recently announced it will lay off more than 30,000 corporate workers nationwide, and new information released through New Jersey’s Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) system shows hundreds of those job losses will impact workers across the Garden State.

Amazon sent a notice out to staffers in an apparent error acknowledging "organizational changes" at the company.

The layoffs are effective at the end of April, according to a state filing, and include employees at all six Philly-area locations.
