According to @ReutersBiz, layoffs at major companies including Amazon (AMZN) and UPS (UPS) are reshaping the labor market. According to @ReutersBiz, AI is driving automation linked to these job cuts. According to @ReutersBiz citing Reuters' David Gaffen on the Reuters World News podcast, some losses reflect post-pandemic corrections.

According to @StockMarketNerd, Andy Jassy said this week that AMZN layoffs were not related to AI, but the source points to a June shareholder letter excerpt stating AI will lower corporate workforce needs, followed by new corporate layoffs at Amazon, suggesting an AI-driven efficiency narrative is in play, source: @StockMarketNerd. For traders, the source’s linkage implies reassessing AMZN operating expense trajectory, margin outlook, and potential short-term price reaction to cost-cut headlines, source: @StockMarketNerd. The source-driven AI-efficiency angle can also influence positioning in AI-exposed equities and prompt crypto market participants to monitor sentiment in AI-themed tokens as Big Tech AI headlines cross, source: @StockMarketNerd.

According to @ReutersBiz, Amazon said it will reduce its global corporate workforce by about 14,000 people in a major shakeup driven in part by adoption of AI, source: @ReutersBiz. The announcement links the reduction to AI adoption and does not mention cryptocurrencies or digital assets, source: @ReutersBiz.

According to The Kobeissi Letter (X post dated Oct 27, 2025), Amazon (AMZN) is preparing to announce mass job cuts beginning tomorrow, described in the post as the largest layoff in the company’s history. Per the same source, as many as 30,000 corporate employees could be affected across the corporate workforce. Based on The Kobeissi Letter’s report, traders may watch AMZN for headline-driven volatility and options repricing around the announcement timing, and monitor broader risk sentiment for potential spillover once official details emerge; the post itself does not discuss market impact.

According to @StockMKTNewz, Amazon (AMZN) is reportedly planning to cut up to 30,000 roles from its roughly 350,000-person corporate workforce, marking the largest reduction since about 27,000 jobs were eliminated starting in late 2022 (source: Reuters, as cited by @StockMKTNewz). Given documented positive correlations between major equities and crypto assets since 2020, large-cap tech shocks can transmit to BTC and ETH via risk-on/risk-off channels, so traders may monitor cross-asset sentiment if the report is confirmed (source: IMF research on rising stock–crypto correlations, 2022; BIS analysis on crypto–equity co-movements, 2022).
