Overview

  • The New York State WARN dashboard lists 660 permanent layoffs effective Nov. 8 across nine Manhattan office sites.
  • The largest reductions were 233 roles at 450 W. 33rd St. near Hudson Yards and 182 at 424 Fifth Ave., the New York Tech Hub location.
  • Amazon says the New York cuts are part of about 14,000 corporate job eliminations announced in late October, with Reuters reporting the program could reach 30,000 roles globally.
  • Affected workers are corporate staff only, with the company saying warehouse and delivery employees were not included.
  • Amazon says impacted employees received a 90-day notification period along with severance, a healthcare lump sum, skills training, and job-placement support, while CEO Andy Jassy characterized the restructuring as a cultural reset rather than AI- or cost-driven.
