And The Layoff Season Hits Amazon Team Again!

It seems that the layoff season has been hit again at Amazon, this time its their advertising division, resulting in the elimination of 160 positions.

A  well-known media read through an internal memo presented to the affected employee base at Amazon which stated a typical Silicon Valley layoff script, offering affected employees a 60- to 90-day window (depending on location) to secure a new role within the company.

Further, Amazon is also providing outplacement assistance through recruiting firm Lee Hecht Harrison to help ease the transition for those affected. “We are taking the difficult step of reducing some roles across some Amazon Ads teams,” the email stated, before delivering the final news: “Unfortunately, your role has been eliminated.”
