IT Home reported on October 29 that, according to Reuters, Amazon cut about 250 jobs in its Devices and Services unit on Wednesday, after releasing a string of products over several weeks, including new Kindle e-readers and tablets.

Amazon confirmed the layoffs. “We made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of roles,” a company spokesperson said, without providing further details.

A person familiar with the matter said the layoffs affected no more than 250 people, primarily in software development.

The spokesperson added that the layoffs would help the company “improve operational efficiency and better align with our product roadmap.” Meanwhile, Amazon also unveiled a new Alexa-powered alarm clock and smart photo frame on Wednesday.

In keeping with Amazon’s usual practice, termination notices were sent by text message and email to affected employees early Wednesday morning. An email from Cherie Robinson, vice president of human resources for the Devices and Services unit, said the company had “conducted a comprehensive review of its organizational structure” and therefore needed to reduce the size of its teams.

IT Home noted that Amazon had cut about 1,000 jobs in its core retail division earlier this month. The company is scheduled to release its third-quarter financial results after the U.S. stock market closes on Thursday.
