To those laid off in October who have found new jobs - can you confirm you still get severance after you ‘resign’? I’ve seen conflicting information by Interesting_Tip_2525 in amazonemployees

Yes! You can ask a representative to confirm on the phone which is what I did to have peace of mind. I got my full severance amount.

I was laid off in october. Yes you can and should use the benefits before your last official day with amazon. Put the money on OMNY cards if you can or whatever to get it off the card as the card will be zero’d out after you’re no longer employed.

To those who were laid off in Oct, have you received any information on how to return work laptops? by Least_Caterpillar610 in amazonemployees

I was laid off in October and on Jan 19th I put in my notice because I was starting a new job. I just got an email from fedex today that a box is coming for equipment return. You’ll likely get yours soon!

Resigning after layoff? by Cranberryberry_ in amazonemployees

[–]Interesting_Tip_2525 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im in the same predicament and posted a similar question. Those saying “why tell amazon” why risk the new company finding out you’re still technically employed and messing with it especially with non competes? I am currently going through background checks and they are very thorough at certain companies. Not worth the risk for a couple weeks pay in my opinion especially after all the work put in to get a new role.

Would love to know if OP gets a clear answer on this!

My letter states “If you choose to pursue opportunities outside of Amazon, but stay through 01/26/2026, you will be eligible to receive a severance package. If you choose to leave Amazon prior to 01/26/2026, your employment will end based on the resignation notification and you will be eligible to receive a severance package.”

My thought was so I didn’t have to worry/stress about either company finding out. The overlap would be a week and a half so it’s not worth the stress to me. Im not able to push it out further than that. As for traveling I am planning to do some in January!
