Jeff Bezos' rocket company Blue Origin is cutting 10% of its workforce. The move comes just a month after the debut of Blue Origin's New Glenn rocket, which reached orbit on its first try.

Blue Origin announced plans to lay off about 10% of its workforce — or more than 1,000 employees — nearly a month after the company debuted its first orbital rocket.

In an email to employees, the company’s chief executive said the company had become bloated during its growth in recent years.
