More than 3,000 Amazon.com Inc. employees in New York, California and the company’s home state of Washington were recently notified that they are losing their jobs as part of a second big wave of the company’s mass layoffs.
As required by law, Amazon AMZN filed notices of the job cuts with the three states this week and last week. The filings show that 2,320 employees have lost their jobs in Seattle and Bellevue, Wash., with an effective date of March 19. That’s the same effective date for the 504 employees who have lost their jobs in various locations in four cities in California, most of them in the Silicon Valley town of Sunnyvale.
The internet giant is just one of most big tech companies eliminating tens of thousands of jobs. Most recently, Google parent Alphabet Inc. GOOG GOOGL and Microsoft Corp. MSFT announced 12,000 and 10,000 layoffs, respectively. About 60,000 tech job cuts have been announced this year so far, according to one tally. Other big tech companies that are cutting thousands of jobs include Facebook parent Meta Platforms Inc. META , Salesforce Inc. CRM , Intel Corp. INTC and Cisco Systems Inc.
