Overview
- Starbucks will eliminate 61 technology roles at its Seattle Support Center, with layoffs scheduled from June 20 to Aug. 28.
- A Washington WARN notice attributes the decision to a restructuring of the company’s technology department.
- The company said the move does not involve relocating work or outsourcing jobs, and affected employees were notified in April.
- The layoffs are permanent and affect non-union staff who do not have bumping rights to claim other roles.
- Starbucks says the reductions are separate from its new Nashville office plans, and Seattle remains its global headquarters.
