Amazon Accidentally Confirms Cloud Job Cuts in Premature Internal Email

• Amazon inadvertently sent an internal email confirming upcoming job cuts in its cloud division (AWS) ahead of schedule.
• The email, from Colleen Aubrey (SVP, Applied AI Solutions, AWS), mentioned "organizational changes" and difficult decisions for future success.
• Impacted employees in the US, Canada, and Costa Rica were already notified, according to a reference to HR chief Beth Galetti's post.
• This round of layoffs follows previous reports of Amazon planning to cut thousands of corporate jobs across various divisions.
• The layoffs are part of CEO Andy Jassy's strategy to reduce management layers and internal bureaucracy.
