Amazon reveals fresh round of global job cuts in email sent in error to workers
AI Summary
Amazon inadvertently revealed a new round of global job cuts through an email sent in error to AWS employees. The email, signed by a senior vice-president, indicated that affected employees in the US, Canada, and Costa Rica had already been notified. This follows Amazon's announcement in October of 14,000 corporate role reductions as the company aims to reverse pandemic-era hiring and reduce costs. While Amazon has not confirmed the latest layoffs, reports suggest the cloud computing and stores units will be impacted. The news coincides with UPS announcing plans to cut up to 30,000 jobs, partially due to reducing low-value deliveries for Amazon, a major customer and growing competitor.
