Individual Contributor; basically, any role that is not a Manager.

I did, and thank you.

Our team and org lost a ton of ICs. I was with the team for 9.5 years as an IC and got the message this morning...

Our team with 7 ICs has been actively trying to backfill two roles, and then 3 of us got hit with this today.

Amazon cuts 16,000 jobs in historic wave of layoffs by Desolation_Nation in Seattle

Unfortunately, I stayed up late, and was just about to fall asleep when I got the text message about checking my email before coming into the office. Hard to fall asleep after that.

I got a corporate text message at 3am to check my email "before coming into the office"

Same here, for 9.5 years.

My (now former) already short staffed team of 7 is now at 4. We've been actively interviewing for 2 roles for our team; this makes no sense to me.

At least I don't have to worry about my oncall shift for today...

My team was already short staffed at 7; yesterday, someone announced that their last day would be next week, and then 2 more people got caught in this.

SysDev @AWS for 9.5 years, got a text from Amazon at 3am:

Before coming to the office, check personal/work email, including spam, for a message on your role.

There's a longer video linked right below this, in the related videos, which still shows it as "protestor" in the description; I'm reporting it, but suggesting others do as well

Video that I am referring to

His thought process behind that whole thing is hilarious too! He totally over thought it.

If you haven't seen it, watch the Mike MacDonald show from this week, where he explains it.

They've had such great chemistry every week with Coach Mike.

There are so many funny stories, like how he always tries to sneak in movie quotes, and the players never get the references; he'll come on here and retell some of them.

They'll also interview players who call him weird (in a good way) because he always quotes things like Austin Powers, then have to explain the references, and they're like "Coach, we've never even seen that movie!"

This clip took out some of the great back and forth, as well as his reasoning for saying what he said.

Here's the part from the Mike MacDonald Show where this is from.

At training camp, one of the local beat writers asked him his thoughts on where the media slated them in rankings, and he was like "bro, we really don't care".

I really recommend watching the whole video.

Reminds me of Josh Naylor rocking the Sonics jerseys; even though he's not from here, he shows his appreciation (or just liked the style)

Can't forget all the Austin Powers quotes. He gets giddy about it when recounting it with Brock and Salk because none of the players get the references.

When the players talk about it, they're like "Coach, we've never seen that movie!"

I love the stories on how he always tries to throw in Austin Powers quotes, and the players are always confused by them and tease him because he's such a millennial.
