About the incident
According to the reports provided by Business Insider, a glitch led to an email with miscalculated compensation being forwarded to the employees.

We are working with employees to ensure they understand their updated compensation.”
This email created an extremely, unpleasant situation as the managers were required to tell the employees that they will get a lower compensation than was stated in the email they received. The company has resolved the glitch, adding that it was speaking to employees “to ensure they understand their updated compensation”, Business Insider reported. According to the reports provided by the New York Times, people at high posts have left Amazon due to the low salary offered by the company.
