Amazon cut more than 300 jobs at Zappos – about a fifth of the workforce – in last month's mass layoffs, report says

• Amazon cut more than 300 jobs at its subsidiary Zappos last month, The Wall Street Journal reported.
• Customer service reps were some of those who lost their roles at the shoe and clothing retailer.
• The cuts came the same month that Amazon axed about 18,000 roles – the largest in its history. 

More than 300 jobs at Amazon-owned Zappos were quietly cut last month amid mass layoffs at the online retailer, The Wall Street Journal reported.

The shoe and clothing retailer cut about a fifth of its workforce in January, according to a Zappos memo seen by The Journal.
