亚马逊员工周二报告称，公司多个部门出现了新一轮裁员。据《商业内幕》（Business Insider）查看的消息显示，一群员工在内部Slack频道中写道，他们收到了邮件，告知其职位已被取消。该频道拥有近3.7万名成员，迅速被关于遣散费、内部职位申请权限以及是否还会有更多通知的问题所淹没。这些消息表明，裁员涉及多个业务单元，包括亚马逊零售业务的客户服务、市场支持以及工程岗位，同时也波及印度和英国。据一位知情人士透露，此次受影响的员工总数不足1000人。
Amazon employees reported a new round of job cuts across several parts of the company on Tuesday. A group of employees wrote in an internal Slack channel that they had received emails telling them their roles had been eliminated, according to messages viewed by Business Insider. The channel, which had nearly 37,000 members, quickly filled with questions about severance, access to internal job postings, and whether further notifications were still coming. The messages suggest cuts across several business units, including customer service, marketplace support, and engineering roles in Amazon’s retail business, as well as in India and the UK. Fewer than 1,000 employees were affected in total, according to a person familiar with the matter.
这一新裁员举措表明，尽管亚马逊正着手进行其史上最大规模的支出扩张，但其成本重组仍在持续重塑其企业员工队伍。在去年年底和今年年初，亚马逊为削减成本并扁平化组织架构，裁撤了约3万个职位。如今，该公司正准备在数据中心、芯片及其他人工智能基础设施上投入创纪录的2200亿美元。
The new cuts show that Amazon's cost overhaul is still reshaping its corporate workforce even as the company embarks on its biggest spending binge yet. After eliminating roughly 30,000 jobs late last year and early this year to cut costs and flatten its organization, Amazon is now preparing to spend a record $220 billion on data centers, chips, and other infrastructure for AI. An Amazon spokesperson confirmed to Business Insider that the company eliminated “a small number” of roles on Tuesday, primarily in its Stores business.
亚马逊发言人向《商业内幕》证实，该公司于周二取消了“少量”职位，主要集中在其商店业务部门。该发言人表示：“我们一直在审视团队结构，以确保在为客户进行创新时能够保持快速行动的最佳状态。我们调整了商店业务的部分架构，因为我们相信这种结构将更好地帮助我们实现优先事项。作为这些变革的一部分，我们做出了艰难的决定，取消了少量职位，并致力于支持受影响员工度过过渡期。”
"We're always looking at our team structures to ensure we're best set up to move fast as we innovate for customers," the spokesperson said. "We've adjusted parts of our Stores business because we believe this structure will better enable us to deliver on our priorities. As part of these changes, we've made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of roles, and we're committed to supporting affected employees through their transition."
据知情人士透露，此次裁员发生在亚马逊企业员工因担心另一轮大规模裁员而焦虑数月之后。
The layoffs followed months of anxiety among Amazon's corporate workforce over the prospect of another broad round of cuts, according to people familiar with the matter.
据其中一位消息人士称，在之前的人员削减之后，员工们一直担心会再次面临裁员。一些领导者也缩减了对未来几个季度的规划，部分原因是他们预计团队结构或工作重心可能会发生变化。这种不确定性让员工不得不从领导层的会议、日历邀请以及团队变动中捕捉线索。在Slack频道里，员工们询问是否已经通知了所有人、医疗假将如何处理，以及在通知期内他们是否还能继续使用Slack和Outlook。
Employees have been bracing for layoffs after prior reductions, and some leaders have scaled back planning for the next several quarters partly because they expected their teams or priorities could change, according to one of the people. The uncertainty left employees parsing leadership meetings, calendar invitations, and team changes for clues. In the Slack channel, workers asked whether all notices had been sent, how medical leave would be handled, and whether they would retain access to Slack and Outlook during their notice periods.
另一些人则担心裁员是否会波及墨西哥和欧洲其他地区。对许多员工来说，最紧迫的问题是：在合同结束前，他们能否在亚马逊内部找到另一份工作。其中一条帖子询问，如果在90天通知期内收到了外部公司的录用通知，员工如果提前离职，是否必须放弃遣散费。请使用个人电子邮件地址、非工作用的WiFi网络和非工作设备；
Others wondered whether cuts would reach Mexico and elsewhere in Europe. For many employees, the immediate question was whether they could find another job inside Amazon before their employment ended. One post asked whether workers who received an outside offer during the 90-day notification period would have to forfeit severance if they left early.
