Got laid off from Amazon in Jan. Took a short road trip to clear my head and strategize my game plan. No time to waste, rebuilt my resume top to bottom. Applied to 200+ roles out of which about 40 call backs. Currently 8 open interviews, and one of them finally put an offer with 2 level up title t...Read more
Is there a joint lawsuit against Amazon that people can contribute to or be aware of. There seems to be here a lot of data being shared constantly showing unethical Amazon behavior to shake them a bit. It is by no means a company that deserves people’s empathy. #ethics #tech #
Recently, I had a few conversations about the ethics of companies. For example, folks comparing Amazon to Walmart and the like. Please list one company that, in your opinion, has a clear karma record and one that should rot in hell?
Amazon has caused my health to spiral down and my fav coworker was PIPed due to dirty empire building. Even the HR and Amazon's ethics helpline did nothing to help the coworker. Since FTC is trying to sue Amazon, how can I collaborate with the FTC and help them with their lawsuit to screw with this...Read more

Hi community, I don't like the work culture in Amazon at all. For that reason, I am planning to switch, but should I simply resign or make my manager keep in pip so that they will be giving me option to quit and take severance or be in pip. (I would offcourse take severance😌). I am also applying f...Read more
Handed in my notice. Ethics aside, what would keep me from having my laptop shut for days at a time/doing 15 mins of work per day during my notice period? Need time to regen and Amazon is refusing to let me take a single day off during Christmas so feeling pretty strong FU vibes here

I started at Amazon (<;6months) as an L7 Sr SDM. It's the most toxic culture I've ever joined. I have not slept properly since I was told to have to let people go eventhough they are performing above average. There is no ethics and everyone is so cultish it makes me feel sick. Please help me fin
Reputation of a company on Blind is a good heuristic to find a place to work for. Microsoft, Apple and Google, highly reputable companies to work for in terms of culture compared to Meta and Amazon, are the ones that haven’t laid employees and sticking to the ethics and virtue. Necessary layoffs may...Read more
I am considering offers from both Amazon and Meta. Meta has a lot of heat right now for its political influence and societal impact. I hear some say that working for FB leaves a "Black Mark" on your career and that is causing senior talent to leave. Politics/ethics aside. Will companies really care...Read more

Just accept an offer at AWS in Tx(TC: 150). Tik Tok reached out. I'm still in the interview phase but based on research I'm expecting about about 170-190 in TC(SF or Seattle). Should I jump ship for that sweet Tik Tok stock appreciation or stay at AWS for the Amazon Brand? Bonus Question: What are ...Read more
I've been with Amazon for a few years and have had four different managers during that time. Recently, due to reorganizations and layoffs, a new manager took over. Instead of adjusting our workload after the staff reductions, we were given even more tasks with tight deadlines. Our manager rarely dec...Read more
