Important Layoff Announcement

Jeff-mazing sent the following email to Amazon Kindle employees earlier today. Greetings Kindleites! It's your Jeff-mazing Bezos here. I'm sorry to have to announce that due to a perfect storm of circumstances, we need to let go of 10% of our workforce. As you have probably heard, the Make-A-Wish Foundation recently expanded its services to granting wishes to adults. This resulted in an influx of adult wishes being granted to purchase a variety of Amazon Kindles, every single one of them autographed by myself. Despite the autograph, this proved to be too much of a strain on the company's budget and we had to make a difficult decision. I want to assure all of you that we take full accountability for this. We've always strived to keep our Kindleites safe and secure in their positions, but this unforeseen consequence has forced us to take this regrettable step. I understand this will be a difficult time for everyone and I thank each and every one of you for your hard work and dedication. Sincerely, Jeff Bezos
