Amazon on Tuesday sent a notice out to cloud staffers in an apparent error acknowledging “organizational changes” at the company.
The e-commerce giant is expected to announce widespread layoffs across its corporate workforce as soon as this week, a person familiar with the matter previously told CNBC. Amazon’s cloud computing and stores units are among the divisions that are expected to be impacted.
“Changes like this are hard on everyone,” Colleen Aubrey, senior vice president of applied AI solutions at Amazon Web Services, wrote in an email viewed by CNBC. “These decisions are difficult and are made thoughtfully as we position our organization and AWS for future success.”
The note also references a post from Amazon’s HR boss Beth Galetti and says the company notified “impacted colleagues in our organization.”
