Seattle | Microsoft and Amazon.com, two of the world’s biggest companies, began cutting a total of 28,000 jobs on Wednesday (Thursday AEDT) in a post-pandemic reckoning that has left almost no tech name unscathed.
The software giant began notifying some of the 10,000 workers that will lose their jobs this quarter, while its Seattle-based neighbour and cloud rival Amazon started sending out emails to people in the US, Canada and Costa Rica who are among 18,000 people whose positions will be eliminated.
