Amazon has been "working to strengthen our organization by reducing layers."

The e-commerce giant appears to have inadvertently tipped off some employees to layoffs planned for Wednesday, Jan. 28, by sending an errant email.

Amazon sent a notice out to staffers in an apparent error acknowledging "organizational changes" at the company.

An internal email referring to a new wave of redundancies was sent to a number of Amazon employees before being cancelled.

Amazon is laying off another 16,000 staff and is reported to have accidentally emailed one of its teams a day early with the news. Amazon posted the news publicly via a note from Beth Galetti, Senior Vice President of People Experience,

Amazon mistakenly sent email to cloud employees about upcoming layoffs amidst efforts to streamline operations.

Amazon employees were shaken after a premature internal email hinted at fresh layoffs, as the company prepares further corporate job cuts.
