Amazon plans to lay off as many as 10,000 employees, starting this week, with a focus on its retail operations and device division including Alexa, as well as human resources, the New York Times reported Monday.
The scope of the layoffs, if it remains around that number, reflects about 3% of its corporate workforce and less than 1% of its global workforce, according to the Times report.
Amazon didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
