A separate announcement
Our earlier Amazon report covers the October 7 Stores reduction. Keep the announcements separate rather than adding their estimates into a precise companywide total.
If you’re affected
Keep your employer’s written notice and list any questions about your final schedule, benefits and internal applications. Ask your HR contact for the details that apply to your role; arrangements from an earlier round may not apply.
Amazon’s careers site lists opportunities by team and location. Read each role’s requirements before applying. A public listing alone does not establish eligibility for an internal transfer.
Our job-search resources include national, remote-work and government job boards. Comparing duties, location and qualifications can make a large set of listings easier to narrow down. A simple application log can help you keep track of next steps.
