Overview
- More than 1,400 roles are in Seattle and over 600 in Bellevue, with the remainder elsewhere in Washington.
- Separations are scheduled from late April through late June, and affected employees receive at least 90 days’ notice with the option to avoid layoff by securing internal transfers.
- Over half of the affected positions are in software development, engineering management, program management, and technical product roles, including numerous Manager III and Senior Manager titles.
- The state filing reflects Amazon’s global plan to eliminate 16,000 corporate jobs; combined with October’s reductions, more than 4,500 corporate roles have been cut in Washington in under a year.
- Separate from the corporate actions, about 400 Washington retail jobs are being eliminated due to Amazon Go and Amazon Fresh store closures.
