From the Original Report
Image: Generated via Google’s Nano Banana Amazon’s army of robots is growing. The humans who built it? Not so much. The tech giant confirmed on March 3, as Reuters reported, that it had laid off staff across its robotics division, the team responsible for building its robotic and automated systems, which are widely used to run its fulfilment
centres worldwide. Citing two people familiar with the matter, Reuters was told that at least 100 white-collar positions in the unit have been cut. Amazon robotics VP Scott Dresser, in an internal memo obtained by Business Insider , described the redundancy as “difficult but necessary.” He also affirmed that the unit remains a critical investment
for the company. A spokesperson from Amazon informed them that affected employees would receive severance pay, health insurance benefits, and job placement support. This follows Amazon’s January 2026 cut of about 16,000 corporate roles, bringing the total number of corporate job cuts since late 2022 to more than 57,000.
