Amazon stated in official WARN letters the business published issued to the State Office for Employment Development that it is considering more than 200 layoffs, with additional job cutbacks anticipated to top 100 in both Sunnyvale and San Francisco.

According to Amazon’s WARN letter, the job losses should begin on March 19, 2023.

In the warning, Amazon said, “Employee terminations as a result of this action are likely to be permanent.” “Neither a union nor another collective bargaining representation represents the affected employees.

In a letter dated November 15, 2022, Amazon stated that it had already chosen to fire 263 workers from several Sunnyvale sites. On January 17 of this year, the prior employment losses were supposed to go into force.

The latest cuts also indicate that IT and biotech firms could be planning more layoffs.
A second round of layoffs was recently disclosed by biotech Zymergen and chipmaker Intel, who had already announced job cuts weeks earlier.

Google owner Alphabet informed staff that it has planned to decrease personnel by around 6% to reduce, fueling worries that tech layoffs might last for months or longer in 2023.

A decrease of 12,000 employees worldwide caused by Google’s downsizing may result in the loss of hundreds or thousands of jobs in the Bay Area. Amazon recently disclosed that it would eliminate 18,000 positions globally. Microsoft said that it would lay off 10,000 people globally. Over the next three years, Hewlett-Packard intends to eliminate 4,000 to 6,000 positions.
