According to an internal email viewed by Business Insider, the notifications were sent on Wednesday by Beth Galetti, Amazon’s Senior Vice President of People Experience and Technology. The email informed employees that their roles were being eliminated following a comprehensive organizational review. Impacted staff were assured they would continue to receive full pay and benefits for a 90-day non-working period, along with severance and other support.
“I have some important, but difficult, news to share with you,” the email read. “After a thorough review of our organization, our priorities, and what we need to focus on going forward, we've made the hard business decision to eliminate some roles across Amazon. Unfortunately, your role is being eliminated as part of these changes, and your employment will end after a notification period.”
