Up to 300 jobs at Amazon’s operations in Ireland at risk 

Amazon employs over 6,000 people in Cork, Dublin, and Drogheda

Amazon said on Wednesday it was cutting 16,000 jobs worldwide in the second major round of layoffs at the company in three months.

Up to 300 jobs at Amazon’s operations in Ireland could be at risk after the company announced that it was going to cut 16,000 jobs from its global corporate workforce with the potential for further job cuts in the future.

This comes after the company announced in October that it would be cutting 14,000 global corporate jobs bringing the total headcount reduction at the ecommerce giant to 30,000 in the span of just a few months.
