Amazon eliminated a small number of roles in its robotics division this week as part of an ongoing cost-cutting effort that has reduced its corporate workforce by more than 57,000 employees since late 2022, according to Business Insider.
Scott Dresser, vice president of Amazon Robotics, told staff the cuts were difficult but necessary, emphasizing that robotics remains a strategic priority despite the restructuring. The company did not disclose how many employees were affected, though a spokesperson described the reductions as relatively limited.
The move follows previous layoff rounds in October and January, as CEO Andy Jassy continues efforts to streamline operations and reduce bureaucracy.
