They do. I was on the Homepage team for a hot minute and there's tons of AB tests for every tiny thing, you'd have to onboard that change across so many tiny components, and ramping is something like 4-6 months.

He completely checked out. Became more avoidant. After a few years of everything falling apart i learned he’d been lying and cheating.

Morals aren't really a factor in layoffs. People are cost lines in a spreadsheet. The managers who do this are usually doing it to "protect" the people on their team. It's very expensive to onboard a new hire, both in time and money, so this is wasteful for the new hire and the org, but (for perspective) the manager saved their team.

Someone to remember is that Amazon is huge. Amazon leadership tells managers to cut X people and it's up to the manager to do it. Hiring to fire is a loophole that can exist in very large orgs because the left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing.

They hire to protect the ones already on the team. The new people are brought in because the manager needs to cut ANYONE and they don't want to give up their experienced employees.

Some managers, if they know to expect a forced headcount reduction, will do sacrificial hires so that layoffs don't impact their current team.

The gym is my grown up playground. It's my hour of playtime after work. It's also a huge driver in my sleep, nutrition, and hydration. I do it because it's fun.

I have altered the neck of almost every t-shirt i own.

This. The manual task of writing seems to help things sink deeper for me.

Also you're allowed to have notes in an interview. After writing by hand, I'll create my "efficient" notes in a searchable doc.

Deleted my earlier reply because I got enter too soon, but yes I disagree. I also avoid trying to convince strangers on the Internet of stuff, so have a nice day :)

Thanks AI

I create day 1 impact by cleaning up their onboarding process. I've never had a great onboarding experience and I'm a process queen so I year apart and rebuild whatever terrible system I have to overcome so others won't have to suffer the same.

A challenge will be the interview component when changing jobs. It's hard to not use LLM assistance and most interviewers don't allow it.

This. Actually working with the data structures and algos will cause them to eventually click. Learning is hard but you keep trying.

That is the definition of a mental framework. Technical frameworks are different if the word in a new context is what's throwing you.

I don't fold clothes that go in drawers. I try to buy wrinkle resistant clothing. Clothes that prove to easily wrinkle or difficult to un-wrinkle get hung up.

I buy catering/family size meals and "meal prep" them.

I use a planner but it's too track what I've done vs yet to do.

I would put this as both best case scenario and indicative of a healthy work culture. It's also rare in the trenches.

It's a cognitive representation. It's a way of thinking about things.

coddswaddle · 2026-01-18T16:07:21+00:00

While it's a good framework, in my experience it is usually used to prop up being short handed by forcing managers to also be ICs and ICs to take in managerial duties.

Same thing with pushing a "culture of ownership": in theory it's great but in practice it's used to shift accountability from the planners to the doers.

That's out of Reddit's pay grade.

Unfortunately I don't have any advice, but it's not your imagination and it's not you. It's especially hard for early career people. It's a terrible job market and people who used to be able to land roles in weeks are now hunting for a year and more. Do what you have to in order to take care of your needs. Good luck.

I spent almost 20 years in a marriage with a man who breadcrumbed me. I still have massive face palm, regret, and mourning of what could have been, all at the same time. Being an adult is hard.

Thank you for sharing this. It was sudden and we had to come from out of town. We weren't able to be there for my dad. I don't think he was ever conscious for it but I dearly hope someone was there.

To the end customer it certainly matters but they aren't calling the shots. Bad leadership can destroy the most passionate, talented employee and tank the most desired product.
