Amazon's 2026 lay-offs have taken a chaotic turn after an internal email was sent by mistake, confirming job cuts in its cloud unit and revealing plans for more to come. The draft message, intended for official release later, was inadvertently included in a calendar invitation sent late on Tuesday, 27 January, sparking immediate concern among staff.
With the company already having cut 14,000 roles in late October last year, this incident underscores the ongoing restructuring efforts at the tech giant, as it seeks to adapt to shifting market demands.
