Amazon sent a layoff email and then recalled. Subject line read ‘Project Dawn’

Tech companies have been on a layoff spree in recent times. Amazon came under scrutiny as it sent an internal email about layoffs and then quickly recalled it. The email, with the subject line ‘Project Dawn,’ was sent to staff at Amazon Web Services (AWS) on Tuesday, ahead of layoffs expected later this week. In the email, the company has not explained what the project refers to.

According to a report by Reuters, the email was signed by Colleen Aubrey, senior vice president of applied AI solutions at AWS.
