Online retail giant Amazon is set to cut up to 10,000 positions from its global workforce.
The New York Times says the layoffs will be made in corporate and technology roles beginning this week.
These cuts would be the largest in the company's history, and would mostly impact its devices organisation, retail division and human resources.
This would represent less than 1% of Amazon's workforce and 3% of its corporate employees.
The number of jobs affected is said to be fluid and could change.
This would be the latest tech company to implement large staff reductions, following the job loses at Twitter, Meta and Stripe.
