One Amazon team posted nearly 25,000 job openings last year — when only 7,800 had been approved

• A team at Amazon had posted 25,000 open jobs last year, but only 7,800 were approved, Insider found.
• A lack of oversight over the job-posting process led to "over-hiring," an internal document says.
• This week, Amazon announced it was cutting 9,000 jobs in addition to the 18,000 it cut in January.

Amazon Web Service's utility computing team had 24,988 job openings posted in 2022 — but only 7,798 of those positions were actually approved to be filled, an internal document reviewed by Insider revealed.
