About

Amazon announced layoffs affecting 'several hundreds' of employees at Prime Video and MGM Studios, as part of a broader effort to reduce investments in certain areas and focus on high-impact content and product initiatives. The cuts were announced in a memo by senior vice president Mike Hopkins on Wednesday, with notifications beginning in the U.S. and extending to other regions by the end of the week. This follows previous layoffs at Amazon, including 500 at Twitch and thousands across other divisions in 2023.
