Amazon layoffs to 'improve efficiency': What they mean for employees & how they compare with job cuts at Microsoft, Netflix and Oracle across Big Tech

Amazon layoffs: Amazon has cut around 250 jobs in its devices and services division, primarily in software development, as it looks to streamline operations and align staffing with product priorities. The latest layoffs add to more than 31,000 job cuts announced across several rounds since October 2025, including reductions in its retail business. The move comes amid wider workforce changes at tech giants such as Microsoft, Netflix and Oracle, as companies reassess costs and investment priorities.
