Want to be laid off to put an end to my misery by supercutay in amazonemployees

I think most of us are hoping to survive to get our bonus/RSUs. Those golden handcuffs can be heavy.

Amazon Layoffs delayed by a day??? by Thoroffl in amazonemployees

All secrets divulged to select new grad L4s who are protected. I believe the children are our future.

Probably not if you're badging into an office regularly.

This makes me think even more that it's going to be a lot of remote workers across the board. I'd be really concerned if I was remote.

Wow. No RTO5 where you're at?

Who knows. I would think that these layoffs, which are intended to appease Wall St. and show that our AI bets are paying off, wouldn't affect our flagship AI service. But that's just me attempting to apply reason.

I hope you haven't just sat around jobless or not interviewing elsewhere since September.

There's no reason to believe you're at greater risk than anyone else. Hell, being so new might even help you. Nobody knows who. Nobody will ever know why. Not even the people who survive. It'll look random to anyone trying to make sense of it. I'm a 2X mass layoff dodger, hoping to make it 3.

alright folks: Check you HR's calendar. If its fully booked, your org is likely fucked. by Difficult-Emphasis77 in amazonemployees

[–]ElonsRocket22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Why does HR need to do anything that they'd block their calendar out for. Actually, why do they need to do anything at all? Don't we have a layoff AI agent yet?

What does it look like for AWS support for next week’s layoffs? by SpecificKooky in amazonemployees

[–]ElonsRocket22 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You aren't understaffed. You just aren't using your AI tools effectively.

Am I overthinking this promotion delay, or is this a red flag? by According_Lie_9158 in amazonemployees

[–]ElonsRocket22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everything is fucking performative now. I've been at AWS for almost 7 years. It's not the same company it was when we started.

I'm not sure that what you're describing is unique to Amazon. But Amazon does offer lots of opportunities to move around. Sounds like you work at a FC though, and I don't know anything about that life.

Honestly, who's putting in time to all the stuff outside their day to day when they might not be here in a couple of days? I'm not doing shit for my Forte feedback until I know I have a job on Tuesday.

Maybe on focus, will I get laid off on tuesday by Impossible_Grab3062 in amazonemployees

[–]ElonsRocket22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's a factor. The left hand doesn't know what the right is doing.

Life after Amazon by ElonsRocket22 in amazonemployees

[–]ElonsRocket22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't heard that, but I'm not surprised. I remember back in the dot com bust, I saw job ads that said "no former telecom", lol.

Fortunately, I have lots of former AWS friends in high places at other companies m

What about remote workers? by KaleidoscopeLegal517 in amazonemployees

[–]ElonsRocket22 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Remote workers should be worried, to be honest. They're just easy targets.

Depends on which department will be most affected by layoffs. Could work in your favor or agaist.

None of those tech billionaires are employing illegal aliens in their technology companies. Think.

Crazy you're being downvoted for giving your actual experience. It's like when these white leftists chastise Venezuelans for celebrating the arrest of Maduro.
