Around 27,000 jobs at Amazon were eliminated during the company’s layoffs, which began in late 2016 and continued into this spring.
However, as of the end of October 2023, Amazon’s employment page has over 500 full-time, seasonal, and over 300 part-time opportunities available. Despite an internal dispute about how often Amazon employees needed to physically visit the company, some positions were advertised as open to staff members looking for virtual or hybrid employment.
As previously reported by Insider, Amazon started mandating that corporate workers report to work in the office three times a week in May. Remote workers were informed by the corporation that they could have to move closer to their office hubs, and those who declined to come back to work were offered the option of a “voluntary resignation” compensation.
An Insider story from this autumn disclosed that Amazon was monitoring and disclosing individual employee attendance records. It is also said that Amazon informed managers that failure to enforce the return-to-office policy might result in termination.
On its AmazonJobs website, Amazon nevertheless maintains a page dedicated to remote employment, stating that “Amazon has virtual (or “remote”) positions available to qualified individuals who live in some areas.” On the page, the corporation states that during the interview process, candidates can discuss remote work with a recruiter.
Pay at Amazon varies based on the position. According to the business, pay “reflects the cost of labor across several U.S. geographic markets.” The market location, skills, expertise, and experience all affect pay.
Here are a few instances:
The annual salary range for an Ohio-based Area Manager II position with the possibility of working virtually is $61,400 to $100,000.
The salary range for a Senior Project Manager position that is available to remote applicants is $121,000 to $235,200 per year.
The yearly compensation range for a virtual operations engineer is $48,600 to $93,500.
