(CNN NEWSOURCE) — Amazon is set to lay off thousands of its corporate and technology employees.
That's according to a report from the new york times that cites sources with knowledge of the matter.
They say the cuts could come as soon as this week and will focus on amazon’s device organization - including the voice-assistant Alexa.
As well as its retail and human resources divisions.
The cuts are in addition to a previously-announced hiring freeze in amazon's corporate workforce.
The total number of layoffs is not known.
Ten thousand fired would be about three percent of the company's corporate employees... and the largest reduction in the company's history.
