[Amazon has announced that it is cutting
18,000 jobs – the biggest round of layoffs
in the company's history with the
UK understood to be affected.

In a note to employees,
chief executive Andy Jassy confirmed
that the consumer retail part of the
business – including Amazon Fresh, Amazon Go
and online stores – will be especially impacted
by the cuts.
Those working in human resources may also be
vulnerable as the workforce is reduced, he warned.

The layoff decisions, which Amazon will
communicate starting 18 January,
will largely impact the company's e-commerce
and human-resources organisations, he added.

The cuts amount to 6% of the company's
roughly 300,000-person corporate workforce.]
