""This is a continuation of the work we've been doing for more than a year to strengthen the company by reducing layers, increasing ownership, and removing bureaucracy, so that we can move faster for customers," the email said. "Changes like this are hard on everyone. These decisions are difficult and made thoughtfully as we position our organization and AWS for future success," it added."
""Amazon announced 14,000 job cuts in late October. This second round of layoffs had been expected by Amazon employees for weeks, according to a former employee who asked not be identified. The broad understanding among employees had been that bosses intended to cut a total of around 30,000 roles, added the former employee, who left the company as part of the cuts in October.""
A draft email from Colleen Aubrey, a senior vice president at Amazon Web Services, was included in a calendar invitation and apparently sent in error, revealing a new round of global layoffs. The email referenced layoffs of employees in the US, Canada and Costa Rica as part of efforts to "strengthen the company." The invitation title, "Send project Dawn email," referenced Amazon's apparent code name for the cuts. The message was quickly cancelled and an Amazon spokesman declined to comment. Amazon previously announced 14,000 job cuts in October, and employees expected total reductions of around 30,000, with further rounds and limited internal roles available.
