Nicholas Lee, a military veteran who is running for Congress from Texas’s 2nd Congressional District, said he lost his Amazon job in its latest tranche of layoff announced Wednesday. Amazon's senior vice president of people experience and technology, Beth Galetti, confirmed the layoff in a blog post. "As I shared in October, we've been working to strengthen our organization by reducing layers, increasing ownership, and removing bureaucracy," Galetti said. "While many teams finalized their organizational changes in October, other teams did not complete that work until now."
The announcement included assurance that US-based employees would get 90 days to look for a new role internally.
