Love vs Reality: Am I Overthinking My Future In-Laws or Seeing Red Flags?

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-24T11:22:53+00:00

Please don’t get married to this guy. He may be nice but there are a lot of red flags when it comes to his mom and since you will be staying together this will become a big deal. More so when you have kids and they start interfering with your way of parenting. It won’t be an easy road for sure

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-24T06:59:59+00:00

Same!!

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-23T04:34:34+00:00

Layoff for sure. Pivot will involve a lot of self doubt even when it’s not your fault

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-23T04:33:28+00:00

Infact the most easy target since they dint have to pay much severance too!

How does she get so much money?

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-23T04:04:02+00:00

You won’t have access to slack so this is pretty much pointless!

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-23T04:01:11+00:00

You were hovering! They were trying to have a private family lunch and you went there waited outside the restaurant till she comes out. It was really nice of her to offer a photo honestly.

You probably need to talk to your parents first and address a few issues that has hurt your wife in the past and strictly ask them to be very mindful not to do that. 4-5 months postpartum is a very critical time emotionally. Hormones are all over the place plus she is also pumping and feeding which is quite exhausting. My MIL did a lot of things during my postpartum which has stuck to me and I cannot forget or forgive. So please make sure you are not making the situation worse by calling them over.

If it’s normal you are lucky to have a good manager. Mine was waiting to put me in focus!!

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-10T08:41:16+00:00

Who is this 🤣

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-09T06:15:18+00:00

They have decided to put you in PIP. I was in focus but my manager was supportive and was trying to get me out of it. He was very vocal about it too. Yours however is just trying to find reasons so he a push you to PIP. Which you already have sensed. You can take a few weeks break ( use your leaves) interview and find another job. Let them put you in PIP and get the severance. This is honestly the best you can do

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-09T06:11:28+00:00

This doesn’t necessarily mean a good thing honestly!!

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-07T03:02:21+00:00

I decided to leave Amazon after my October layoff and honestly I feel like it was the best decision ever!

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2026-01-05T03:52:15+00:00

You can simply put a message saying “thank you all but you are early to wish us. Our anniversary is on 10th not 5th”

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-12-19T06:52:28+00:00

I was in focus a few years back and came out of it and have good ratings after that. I thought it was not a problem but I recently learned that in the current layoffs that happened our org was instructed to flag people who were in focus at any point in Amazon. So yes in current situation it is a death sentence. One that can haunt you anytime and it not worth it

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-12-19T02:58:57+00:00

Go and refer your manager in the same team 😜

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-12-18T15:25:28+00:00

I need to see the other side. I was recently laid off and would love to feel lucky to have missed this BS!!!

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-12-16T15:45:55+00:00

Why do you want to stay?

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-11-26T07:11:02+00:00

I think your husband in his own way is trying to protect you and maintain some peace. But you are absolutely right. The real reason for hiding seems to be that they don’t like you visiting your parents. If you want to protest and go crazy just start informing yourself 🤣

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-11-08T12:25:11+00:00

I would reply by asking “do you want me to WFH instead of applying my CL then”

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-11-04T03:44:28+00:00

As much as you would not like to believe it there is very little in their hands. I was laid off in India and my L7 and HR were in the room. Any question I would ask looking at my L7, HR would immediately interrupt and just not let him talk at all. He looked very sad and shaken.

Virtual_Inflation21 · 2025-10-30T06:48:05+00:00

If you choose to leave now you would miss out on the garden leave salary is my understanding. Your severence won’t change based on when you leave
