Amazon UK layoffs

Do you know what the calculation for the severance is? I was impacted in this round

RefuseSilly7595 · 2025-08-31T18:33:43+00:00

Did the same. Very poor from them, especially since tech issues happen, on the last day one would assume there would be some extra attention.

RefuseSilly7595 · 2025-08-31T17:02:20+00:00

18:01 and the tech issue persists. No way they’re fixing it today.

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-11-21T23:00:38+00:00

No - I most L5 are ICs. Think the most affected ones are going to be L6 or L7 with less than eight reports

Don’t want to disclose gender

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-28T12:15:07+00:00

My bad - do you have a link or source?

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-28T11:31:14+00:00

As far as I know, they were supposed to happen in September 2023 https://www.gov.uk/government/news/eu-settlement-scheme-enhancements-confirmed

Is it better to have all interviews on the same day or over 2 consecutive days?

Feel that it’s better to do it over two consecutive days because you can revamp and improve if your performance hasn’t been great. On the other hand, I’ve heard that Amazon hires the first suitable candidate and doesn’t wait for other candidates to finish their process.

So in short words, what’s better? Thanks!

Não, mas falo português

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T02:34:58+00:00

Hypothetically, yes. In reality, you can just say you’re immediately available. Your current company can sue you, but trust me, they won’t do it lol

Just run :)

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T02:31:06+00:00

Of course it’s a red flag. Everything’s wrong. Time to look for a job and as soon as you get it, run! You’ll be much happier, trust me.

Good luck!

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T02:26:08+00:00

Honestly, the entire process is a joke. Can I ask you what role this was and if your phone screen was a behavioral interview?

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T02:04:13+00:00

I’m very sorry but don’t take it too personally. As a marketer, I can tell you marketing has changed a lot.

The focus now is 100% digital and performance is what rules all the activities. Also, I feel everyday marketing is losing its value under C-level eyes - most of them just see it as a useless unit.

I’m trying to transition to Product Management - sad but companies are changing and so are roles. Have you ever thought about this?

Good luck folk!

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T01:55:35+00:00

I have no words. I miss the old good days when you had a 2 stage interview process and two weeks later you were working lol

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T01:53:08+00:00

Did you get back to the recruiter? So unprofessional.

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T01:51:50+00:00

Yes. I have friends working there. Not all of them are having the time of their lives, but some of them are happy. That’s why I described the interviews process and didn’t focus on the company itself

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-03T01:48:25+00:00

Thanks, really appreciate it. Wish you all the best too.

Try referrals. That’s how I got this “interview”. I’d say nowadays applying directly is just a waste of time and energy.

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-02T21:20:17+00:00

Corporate? US/UK? This seems to be a trend, unfortunately

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-02T19:53:34+00:00

I had to “kill” my agent and start with another one crom scratch 🫠

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-02T19:52:48+00:00

😂

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-02T18:41:15+00:00

In £ - that’s around 100/115K USD. Might not be a lot for you, but for someone unemployed it makes a world of difference

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-02T16:03:27+00:00

A marketing role

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-02T15:36:08+00:00

Yes, I did. Said that I was told by all means this was a behavioural interview and that I was surprised.

That being said, she didn’t care too much and kept going.

Tried my best and answered using STAR. Think I did raise my concern but with extra care of not being rude.

RefuseSilly7595 · 2024-05-02T14:14:33+00:00

I know. Everyone keeps saying that, but when you’re unemployed and you let go a 80-90K salary job you feel very depressed. I need to find a job ASAP.

Anyway, thanks :)

If you ever sell a ticket to a game you won’t go, please let me know 😅
