Job reductions are imminent at Amazon’s Lake Nona distribution facility as JLL Inc. plans to lay off employees. The Chicago-headquartered company, listed on the New York Stock Exchange as JLL, disclosed in a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) letter dated April 14 that 86 positions will be eliminated at the location on 12340 Boggy Creek Road in Orlando. This decision follows Amazon’s choice to engage a different staffing contractor.
The workforce reduction process is scheduled to commence on June 14, affecting many individuals and their families. The changes at the facility highlight the dynamic nature of employment relationships within large corporations and their reliance on third-party contractors for staffing needs. The shift to another staffing provider signifies operational adjustments by Amazon, reflecting broader trends in workforce management and contractor selection.
