Amazon is planning a second round of job cuts next week as part of its broader goal of trimming about 30,000 corporate workers, according to two people familiar with the matter.
The company in October cut about 14,000 white-collar jobs, about half of the 30,000 target first reported by Reuters. The total this time is expected to be roughly the same as last year and could begin as soon as Tuesday (Jan 27), the people said, who asked not to be identified because they were not authorised to discuss Amazon’s plans.
Design software maker Autodesk (ADSK.O), opens new tab said on Thursday it would shed about 7% of its global workforce, or roughly 1,000 jobs, as it aims to redirect spending to its cloud platform and artificial intelligence efforts.
The company, which offers tools used in movies and games to create 3D animation, visual effects and manage production, said the reductions would mostly impact its customer-facing sales teams.
