Important Update Regarding Layoffs at Amazon Web Services

Jeff-lon sent the following email to Amazon Web Services employees earlier today. Greetings, AWS-ers! Today, I regret to announce that Amazon Web Services will be forced to lay off 15 percent of our workforce due to an unexpected influx of formidable dark forces. Yes, I'm speaking about none other than Darth Vader, who has arrived with a strong and salty plan to dominate the cloud computing market. His iconic black helmet and fiery temperament are formidable, to say the least. I take full responsibility for this decision. After all, if I had done my due diligence, perhaps I could have foreseen Vader's wrath coming from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. In the face of recent uncertainty, I'm confident that the remaining members of the AWS team will persevere with characteristic strength and wit. Let's lean after one another, keep our ears to the ground, and keep fighting the good fight -- even if it threatens our bottomline. Regards, Jeff-lon Musk, CEO of Amazon Web Services
