Amazon Web Services (AWS) is eliminating around 800 jobs, impacting various departments, including sales, marketing, technology, and the team developing technology for brick-and-mortar stores. Specifically, the layoffs affect employees in sales, training, and the physical stores tech group, including those supporting the Just Walk Out technology. This move is part of AWS's strategy to streamline operations and pivot towards digital training, amidst a broader trend of tech companies seeking efficiency and leaner operations. Despite the layoffs, AWS is attempting to reposition affected employees within the company. The job cuts come as AWS's sales growth has slowed in recent quarters, with companies reducing their cloud spending.
