I have some important, but difficult, news to share with you. After a thorough review of our organization, our priorities, and what we need to focus on going forward, we've made the hard business decision to eliminate some roles across Amazon. Unfortunately, your role is being

We didn't make these decisions lightly, and we're committed to supporting you throughout this transition, which will include a non-working period with full pay and benefits (as applicable), an offer of a severance package, transitional benefits as applicable by country, and

As of now, you are no longer required to perform work on Amazon's behalf, and will receive your full pay and benefits (as applicable) for the next 90 days. During this transition period, you'll continue to have access to internal email, Chime, and A to Z on your personal device,
