After confirming that it has begun terminating employees, Amazon has now revealed that the layoffs will continue into 2023 as well.

On Nov. 16, Dave Limp, Amazon senior vice president of devices and services, announced the job cuts, saying that the company had decided to “consolidate some teams and programs” due to which “some roles will no longer be required.” In a news release on Nov. 18, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy revealed that the company’s annual planning process extends into the New Year, meaning that there will be “more role reductions as leaders continue to make adjustments.”
