Amazon accidentally sent an email confirming a new round of global layoffs to employees, revealing job cuts in the US, Canada, and Costa Rica. The draft email, titled "Project Dawn," was shared by mistake, preceding official announcements about the redundancies.

• An estimated 700,000 people have been laid off across the tech industry over the last four years.
• The email was a draft from senior vice president Colleen Aubrey of Amazon Web Services (AWS).
• Amazon expects to reach a total of around 30,000 job cuts, following 14,000 announced in October.
