Amazon Signals New Global Job Cuts After Email Error

Amazon revealed fresh global job cuts after mistakenly emailing staff about planned layoffs.
Workers at Amazon Web Services received a cancelled meeting invite containing an unfinished draft message.
The email wrongly said affected staff in the US, Canada, and Costa Rica had already been informed.
Senior vice-president Colleen Aubrey signed the message, which labelled the layoffs “Project Dawn”.
Amazon cut 14,000 corporate roles last October and continues reducing pandemic-era hiring.
Chief executive Andy Jassy has warned AI could replace some white-collar roles.
The news followed job cut plans from United Parcel Service, which plans to eliminate up to 30,000 roles.
