🤯 AWS did layoffs

Had heard from someone that there were layoffs supposed to happen this week at AWS. Just heard from a colleague that someone they know was asked to leave today. Does anyone know more?

According to a report, Amazon will be terminating 10,000 jobs starting this week, which represents less than 1% of its 1.5 million global employees and around 3% of the company's corporate staff.

We got to see more layoffa in AWS India last week.

Got to know from my skip manager that there will be another round of layoffs starting Monday.
