Amazon to let another 9,000 workers go.

Amazon le 9,000 oibrí eile a ligean chun siúil.

The e-commerce giant Amazon has let go of another 9,000 workers in different locations around the world.

Tá an an ollchomhlacht ríomhthráchtála Amazon le 9,000 oibrí eile in ionaid éagsúla ar fud an domhain a ligean chun siúil.

That is on the back of the 18,000 workers who were laid off at the beginning of the year, including 70 people in Ireland.

É sin ar dhroim an 18,000 oibrí a leagadh as obair i dtús na bliana, 70 duine in Éirinn ina measc.

Amazon employs around 5,000 people in Ireland but it is not clear if any of them will be affected by the latest cuts, if any.

Tá thart ar 5,000 duine fostaithe ag Amazon in Éirinn ach níl sé soiléir an mbeidh aon duine acu thíos leis de bharr na gciorruithe is deireanaí, má bheidh.

Amazon chief executive Andy Jassy said today that the biggest layoffs will be people in online services, human resources, advertising and gaming.

Dúirt príomhfheidhmeannach Amazon Andy Jassy inniu gur daoine sna rannóga seirbhísí ar líne, acmhainní daonna, fógraíochta agus cluichíochta is mó a ligfear chun siúil.

He indicated however that this had not yet been confirmed and news from regional managers was still being awaited.

Thug sé le fios mar sin féin nach raibh sé sin deimhnithe fós agus go rabhthas fós ag fanacht le scéala ó bhainisteoirí réigiúnacha.

Andy Jassy said that the decision was made to let more workers go because the company had to bake according to the meal in view of the current economic uncertainty.

Dúirt Andy Jassy go ndearnadh an cinneadh tuilleadh oibrithe a scaoileadh chun bealaigh mar go gcaithfeadh an comhlacht fuineadh de réir na mine i bhfianaise na héiginneachta eacnamaíochta atá ann faoi láthair.

Last week, the technology giant Meta, the parent company of Facebook, announced that they were to let go another 10,000 employees in various locations around the world.

An tseachtain seo caite, d'fhógair an ollchomhlacht teicneolaíochta Meta, máthairchomhlacht Facebook, go raibh siad féin le 10,000 fostaí eile in ionaid éagsúla ar fud an domhain a ligean chun siúil.
