Some workers at Amazon Web Services (AWS) found out they were losing their jobs not from HR, nor from their managers, but from an accidentally sent email expressing sympathy for a termination nobody had yet been informed about.
On Tuesday, a calendar invitation titled 'Send project Dawn email' was mistakenly dispatched to AWS employees, according to Reuters. Attached was a draft message from Colleen Aubrey, senior vice president of applied AI solutions, offering condolences to staff in the US, Canada, and Costa Rica who had supposedly already been notified that their positions were being eliminated.
