Amazon staff laid off as tech giants cut costs, according to LinkedIn posts

This week it was reported that the company is planning to cut 10,000 jobs, or around 3% of its office staff, Qazet.az reports.

Amazon did not immediately respond to a BBC request for comment.

It comes as thousands of jobs are being shed across the technology industry as firms see sales slow amid growing concerns about an economic downturn.

Posts seen by the BBC include those from employees in Amazon's Alexa virtual assistant business, Luna cloud gaming platform division and Lab126 - the operation behind the Kindle e-reader.
