Internal Amazon data obtained by Business Insider shows wave of corporate job cuts hit early-to mid-level managers in the company’s US retail organization far harder than other groups, and some employees now say they’re bracing for deeper cuts in Amazon Web Services.

According to Business Insider, more than 78 percent of the roughly 7,500 US-based employees who first received layoff notices on Tuesday held L5-to-L7 designations, levels Amazon typically assigns to managers and front-line leaders, the internal breakdown shows. At Amazon, the L5 level generally marks the entry point for management roles, with each higher level indicating greater seniority and responsibility.

The same data indicates that more than 80 percent of the roles eliminated in that tranche were in retail-facing teams such as e-commerce, human resources, and logistics. Those figures were reported by Business Insider, which obtained the internal dataset.
