Was This the Silent Move Behind Amazon’s Amazon Layoffs Hidden? In recent months, Amazon has announced sweeping layoffs affecting thousands of employees across its First Party Brands, AWS, and logistics arms—sparking widespread speculation and concern. While the company frames these cuts as part of strategic realignment, concerns are mounting that the real story behind the scale and timing might be more complex than what’s publicly stated. Could there be a “silent move” behind these layoffs—one that remains hidden from public view? ### The Scale of the Layoffs As of early 2024, Amazon reportedly eliminated over 18,000 positions nationwide, primarily from non-clinical support, training, and internal operations. These cuts followed similar moves in Amazon Web Services and delivery services, signaling a broader push for cost efficiency. Internal communications reportedly point to underperforming units or layers of management redundancies, but Amazon has provided little transparency.
