Amazon Finalizes 370 Job Cuts at Luxembourg HQ After EU Talks

A negotiated social plan cut the tally from 470 after two weeks of EU‑required talks.

Overview

  • The cuts represent about 8.5% of Amazon’s roughly 4,370-person workforce in Luxembourg.
  • Most affected employees are expected to receive formal notice in February, when the layoffs take effect.
  • The Luxembourg reductions are part of an October plan to eliminate about 14,000 roles globally as Amazon shifts investment to generative AI.
  • Amazon says severance and transition support set out in the plan compare favorably with local benchmarks.
  • Software developers are expected to be hardest hit, and non‑EU staff generally have three months to find new jobs or leave under Luxembourg immigration rules.
