Amazon mistakenly announces cloud unit layoffs in email to employees
CNBC • • business
Key Points:
- Amazon mistakenly sent an internal notice to cloud staff about "organizational changes," signaling impending widespread layoffs expected across its corporate workforce, including cloud computing and stores divisions.
- The layoffs follow an earlier announcement in October of 14,000 corporate job cuts, with further reductions anticipated into 2026 as Amazon aims to reduce management layers and bureaucracy.
- An internal email referenced "Project Dawn," which was noted as "canceled," though its exact purpose remains unclear, suggesting the communication may have been sent in error or prematurely.
- Concurrently, Amazon is restructuring its grocery business by closing Fresh supermarkets and Go convenience marts to focus on Whole Foods and online grocery delivery, with new leadership roles being created to improve grocery quality.
