From Google AI:
As of late October 2025, Amazon's total corporate and tech employee count was
approximately 350,000.
and:
While there is no definitive, publicly reported figure for the average tenure of Amazon's tech employees, recent data and reports indicate it is approximately 1.5 to 1.8 years.
Combine these and it appears that they've been consistently getting rid of roughly 16.2K to 19.5K employees every month on the corporate and tech side. Over a year 30K is less than the error term between these two numbers.
not unusual for amazon. 8.5% reduction. countries/states not mentioned.
