Amazon.com Inc. is planning to downsize approximately 5% of its Buy with Prime division in order to cut costs, according to a statement from a company spokesperson, as reported by CNBC on Thursday.

Over the past few days, the company has implemented layoffs affecting numerous employees within its Audible division, Twitch, Prime Video, MGM, and advertising sales departments.
