Amazon.com said on Thursday it is laying off fewer than 5% of employees at its Buy with Prime unit.
Launched in 2022, Buy with Prime gives retailers, who are not Amazon merchants, fulfillment and delivery services through its logistics network.
Amazon said that the unit remains a top priority and would “continue investing significant resources in Buy with Prime.” It did not specify how many employees are part of this unit.
The cut affected just over 30 workers at the unit, an Amazon source told Reuters.
Amazon, however, said it is helping laid-off staff find positions inside and outside the company.
Last week, the e-commerce giant laid off several hundred workers at its streaming and studio businesses. Many jobs have also been eliminated at its Twitch live streaming platform and its Audible audiobook unit, according to media reports.
Earlier this week, Alphabet-owned Google announced that it was laying off hundreds of employees in its advertising sales team.
