Overview
- Amazon reported 84 role eliminations in a new state notice that the company says are not tied to October’s 14,000 global cuts.
- Separations are scheduled for February 2–23, 2026, across more than 30 Seattle and Bellevue offices, plus six remote employees based in Washington.
- Affected positions span software development engineers, program managers, recruiters, HR specialists, and UX designers, ranging from entry level to director and principal.
- Employees were notified beginning in early November and are receiving at least 89 days’ notice, 90 days of full pay and benefits, transitional health coverage, and job placement support.
- Amazon says workers can avoid separation by securing internal transfers, and leadership has previously indicated generative AI could drive further reductions over time.
