That's like the size of a fortunate 1000 company.

Reports indicate that PXT could see a total reduction of up to 15% by the time the May 2026 deadline arrives. The atmosphere at Amazon's Seattle and Bellevue headquarters has grown tense, particularly as a strict five-day-a-week Return-to-Office (RTO) policy failed to drive the level of voluntary resignations management had anticipated. This has forced the company to transition from "quiet firing" through attrition to formal, involuntary layoffs. For many L6 and L7 managers who survived the 2022-2023 cuts, the current wave signals that no level of the hierarchy is entirely safe from the efficiency mandate.
Starting January 26, 2026, thousands of employees will be at the receiving end of the Amazon layoffs. This will, more or less, act as the elimination of pandemic hangover and correct the 2020-2022 hiring surge.
Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) notices filed in Washington, California and others specify separations starting January 26, and continuing through May. These layoffs at Amazon will primarily target managerial and corporate positions. Some estimates suggest the total cuts could reach 30,000.
The upcoming Amazon layoffs are phased to comply with legal requirements while allowing internal transitions. Affected staff will receive at least 90 days of pay and benefits during the notice period.
Clock is ticking. Meta doing the Metaworst.
