Amazon axing workforce may not stop with corporate function

Amazon axing talent may not be limited to its corporate functions. But, unlike Twitter, which let go of its employees in an unceremonious way, the global retailer plans to carefully reduce workforce based on individual departmental needs. If the U.S.-based company’s layoff affects it corporate employees, one of its business decisions could have an impact on its labourers at the fulfilment centres. On November 10, Amazon introduced a new addition in its centres – a robot that could handle, sort, identify, and store products. And it could potentially handle 65% of all pre-packaged products available on Amazon’s website, the company said.
