Amazon’s latest round of layoffs is set to hit 16,000 corporate employees starting Wednesday — with the tech titan suggesting artificial intelligence will do their work, instead. The firings come after Amazon said in October it was laying off 14,000 corporate workers — with the goal of trimming its 1. 58 million-strong workforce by nearly 10% — and after it and other big tech companies were widely viewed as over-hiring during the COVID pandemic.
