Amazon on Wednesday confirmed it started laying off employees, days after several news outlets reported the retail giant would cut as many as 10,000 employees in the near future.

Dave Limp, Amazon’s senior vice president of devices and services, told employees that some roles and teams won’t be needed. Some employees were told Tuesday that Amazon will work to find them new jobs within the firm, but others will be laid off, he said.
