Amazon has started rescinding job offers it had extended to new hires in its retail organization, a sign that the ecommerce giant’s cutbacks have moved beyond its devices division where recent layoffs were concentrated.
Representatives from the retail organization, which is led by Amazon’s CEO of Worldwide Amazon Stores Doug Herrington, this week began calling people who were due to start in January to tell them their jobs were being rescinded, according to two people who had offers rescinded.
