Fired Amazon workers griped about the e-retail giant using email to inform them they were no longer needed by the company, according to a published report.
At least five employees who were laid off Wednesday said they received a cold-blooded missive from management,“Unfortunately, your role has been eliminated,” wrote Beth Galetti, the top executive at Amazon’s human resources department, in one of the emails.The Seattle-based e-commerce giant is culling 18,000 jobs from its payroll as part of cost-cutting measures.

“Our primary mode of communication will be through internal email on your non-Amazon device,” Galetti wrote in the email.
