<p>According to those acquainted with the situation, workers throughout Europe, North America, and Latin America got news that their employment had been cut on Wednesday. A representative for Amazon verified the termination once being contacted by Reuters. She refused to disclose the number of affected workers.</p>
<p>According to a statement she released, “We have been closely monitoring our organizational needs and prioritizing what matters most to customers and the long-term health of our businesses.” The Amazon Music team has terminated a few positions. We’ll keep making investments in Amazon Music.</p>
<p>A survey of Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification sites revealed that none of the company’s major employee centers—Washington state, where Amazon is headquartered, California, or New York—had filed for mass layoffs.</p>
<p>The layoffs occur as Amazon revealed third-quarter net profitability that significantly above analyst projections and predicted broadly in-line sales for the year’s last quarter. Given that it include Christmas shopping, Amazon’s most important quarter is the fourth one.</p>
<p>Over the last month, Amazon has been discreetly reducing employment, including that of communications personnel in its Studios, Video, and Music businesses.</p>
<p>In addition to podcasts, Spotify, Pandora, Apple, Alphabet’s Google, and Amazon Music are competitors that provide paid, limitless music streaming services. Earlier this year, it increased the monthly membership cost by $1 to $10.99.</p>
