- Will Stripe lay-off Post IPO or closer to IPO ? Hi all , I’m considering an offer from stripe and wondering if there would be generally layoffs just before or when companies go IPO. Particularly Stripe , given how aggressively they’re hiring I’m wondering if they’ll layoff folks after they go public ? Is something that companies usually do , as
- vote Netflix offer. Last week I signed an offer with Netflix. I wouldn’t have done that with the current news. Relocating to LG (los gatos) with kids and having family dependent on my health insurance, makes getting laid off costly for me and family. I like my job and have good team. Really good oncall. I accepted net
- vote Safer employer for Software Engineer : Visa inc vs Amazon Where is job security/ job stability better? Visa or Amazon/AWS? Employee friendly with low chance of layoff/pip. I think I already know the answer to this question looking at Amazon reputation but wanted folks to chime in. Only layoffs I saw from Visa was in 2016 and 2017 and a couple of 100s were
- Big tech layoffs or too early to tell? Recently we saw a "growth" company go through a massive layoff. For pr they mentioned 3 percent of employees but in reality the percentage of corporate jobs were much higher. Couple of months ago there was a mortgage startup that went through a massive layoff as well. General consensus is that star
- PIPed I am going on PIP. I already had a few interviews with recruiters at other companies. Some do ask reason for leaving Amazon. Is it okay to be honest?

- Introspection: Getting over fear of recession and layoffs Just like a lot of blind, my stay in the USA is temporary and tied to my employment. In some ways I am lucky that my country does not have a massive wait time for green cards but the process still takes a good 3 years. I am lucky to be a joining MSFT which does this kind of stuff really fast. That b
- Most "stable" companies??? What are the most "stable" companies for Software Engineers during these times of layoffs and an imminent recession? Especially given that companies like Groupon, Yelp etc which depend on people going out, are laying people off..... Amazon is one answer, they are doing pretty well... What are some
- Will Prime Day be cancelled or scaled back? Amazon is mainly focusing on essentials going forward. Consumers have considerably less buying power due to likely recession, layoffs.. Maybe it can be a Prime Day for essentials only? 🤷 #amazon
- vote Non-tech PgM - Jump from Amazon to Meta? I am interviewing for an IC5 non-tech PgM position at Meta's VR/AR group, when I am currently L6 PgM at Amazon (8 YOE at Amazon, $205k TC). Meta's TC and benefits will almost certainly be better, but I'm concerned about Meta's future -- that Meta's stock price (thus my TC) will keep going down, and
- Amazon to Stripe for a visa holder Does anyone else hesitate to drop ship from big corp like Amazon/MS/G etc to smaller company just because of less-likelihood of layoffs and the resultant ticket-home? Where are my H1B people going from Amazon? L5 260k

- Shitposting won’t stop @Linkedin @Amazon | #roasting #simpson I did not join Amazon for the money !!! (🚩🚩🚩) The truth is that each time I saw someone struggle with a layoff or unemployment, within a few months, I noticed that they had secured a role at Amazon. (??)

- Notice period after PIP? My pip plan is ending on 12/18. My manager has decided to terminate me. So 1. how many days extra am I going to get once I agree with my manager’s decision i.e. to leave Amazon? 2.

- OLR is lay offs in disguise I’ve know of two cases of parents coming back from paternity and maternity leave to find that they have been devlisted. The guy eventually was piped and fired. The mom found another job. Amazon is a bullshit heartless company. OLR comes around, stack ranks, and messes with peoples lives. Leadersh
- vote Peloton CEO is off the mark Saying this at the backdrop of 2,800 layoffs is ridiculous. Sports and Jobs are not the same thing, neither pay, nor lifespan, utility or anything as such. I will never work for a CEO who tells like this (yes I work at Amazon, and trust me Bezos is not this hypocritical in thinking). John and I don
