US technology giant Amazon has informed employees of a new round of global layoffs in an email apparently sent in error.

A draft email written by Colleen Aubrey, a senior vice president at Amazon Web Services (AWS), was included as part of a calendar invitation sent by an executive assistant to a number of Amazon workers late on Tuesday.

In the email, Aubrey refers to a swathe of employees in the US, Canada and Costa Rica having been laid off as part of an effort to "strengthen the company."

The message, which has been seen by the BBC, was apparently shared by mistake, as it was quickly cancelled. An Amazon spokesman declined to comment.

Amazon accidentally sends email confirming layoffs

The message was apparently sent in error hours before workers were expecting thousands of job cuts to be announced.

having sacked 27,000+ people in 2022 and another 14,000 in 2025 it should hardly be a surprise to anyone if Amazon does more of the same

only interesting bit here is AWS being specifically mentioned, that's not the low skilled stock pickers in a warehouse, those are typically highly skilled employees

They are shedding corporate jobs so wont be stock pickers. Amazon employs 1.5m people with 350k being corporate so statistically a small number of layoffs but the affected wont see it that way.
 
Amazon just seems like the ****!est company on Earth to work for,

hire and fire people like they are numbers on a spreadsheet.
not people with lives, and families, and responsibilities and dreams,

like sheep in a pen.
