The company made the cuts in customer service, selling partner services and other divisions within the Stores unit, and possibly other Amazon units, and laid off employees in the United States, India and the United Kingdom, according to the report.

An Amazon spokesperson confirmed that the company made a small number of cuts to the Stores unit, but didn’t specify the number, according to the report.

“We’ve adjusted parts of our Stores business because we believe this structure will better enable us to deliver on our priorities,” the Amazon spokesperson said, per the report.

These job cuts follow Amazon’s elimination of 30,000 positions in 2025 and into January, as well as several smaller reductions since then, according to the report.
