Amazon is cutting 100 technology jobs and other positions in San Diego as part of a company-wide downsizing announced earlier this month.
The Seattle e-commerce giant, which put down corporate roots in San Diego about five years ago, filed Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act (WARN) paperwork with state and local employment officials earlier this month. California's WARN law requires companies to provide 60 days' notice of layoffs if they have 75 or more employees.
Most of the workers being let go in San Diego are in technical or human resources fields, led by software development engineers, according to the WARN notice. Applied scientists, data scientists and recruiters also were among the jobs eliminated.
