Abstract

The article focuses on Amazon.com Inc.'s planned layoffs of 370 employees at its European headquarters in Luxembourg, representing about 8.5% of its workforce there. This marks the largest job cut in Luxembourg in two decades and reflects broader global job reductions initiated by Amazon earlier in the year. The layoffs pose challenges for foreign employees who must secure new employment within three months to remain in the country. The article also discusses Amazon's tax practices in Luxembourg, where it has benefited from favorable tax treatment while facing criticism from local unions regarding its employment practices and the impact of job cuts on the community.
