New Delhi, Jan 28 || An internal Amazon Web Services (AWS) email, seemingly sent by mistake referencing “organizational changes,” heightened speculation that US tech giant Amazon may announce another round of layoffs, though employees were already expecting one despite no official announcement.
The message, sent by Colleen Aubrey, senior vice president of applied AI solutions at Amazon Web Services (AWS), acknowledged that “changes like this are hard on everyone” and said they were intended to position the vertical for “future success,” according to multiple reports.
The email, which referenced a post by Amazon HR chief Beth Galetti, suggested that some staff had already been notified of their status.
The message, which was seemingly sent by accident, included the subject line “Project Dawn” and appeared to be recalled shortly after it was sent.
Amazon did not clarify about “Project Dawn”, or if the message was released prematurely.
