2,300 Amazon employees receive warning notice

Based on its decision to lay off around 18,000 employees, more Amazon employees may lose their jobs soon. According to a Reuters report, the company sent a new warning notice to 2,300 employees informing them of the layoffs.

According to the United States Labor Law, employees affected by mass layoffs in any company must be notified 60 days before it occurs. Amazon CEO Andy Jassy confirmed the reports of layoffs at Amazon a couple of days ago. "We plan to eliminate just over 18,000 roles. Several teams are impacted; however, the majority of role eliminations are in our Amazon Stores and PXT organizations," he wrote in a blog post.
