With layoffs happening everywhere most notably the bloodbath at Twitter, Stripe and Lyft I am worried how is Amazon situated right now? I know they have paused hiring but any news about impending layoffs? Does Amazon have the same problem that was perceived at Twitter - way too many employees? If so any orgs that may get impacted first? #tech
Lot of orgs have already laid off people .... Most notable of them is amp ... Add to that increased pip quota
What is Amp?
Layoffs don't happen here. Mostly they just axe orgs and if you can't find a new job internally you are out.
Sounds like a layoff to me.
If you’re forced to “find a new job or else leave” that’s a layoff.
PIP model is there to avoid sudden lay off
Amazon been very busy doing layoff, earlier in the year they did 100k employees. Amazon needs to come down to about 900 thousand employees at this stage, they have a massive over staff
How do you say that Mr. Einstein
The company not making any money to it peers, it’s over staffed and it a very expensive business to operate, there a recent graphic that shows how much it cost Amazon to operate
Amazon Robotics is having layoffs. They didn’t communicate how many were affected, but the ones I know about were given plenty of time to find a new role elsewhere
Amazon already axed multiple orgs. I would say engineers numbered in hundreds were impacted. They are given end of Dec to find internal roles. Also hiring was frozen a month ago.
You are going to have to be more specific with what org in Amazon. I work for AWS, and I don’t know 90% of what happens to the rest of amazon organizations.
Just relax, AWS is coming for a clean up, way to many overlapping roles.
Just increase PIP to 10% and all is well.
Just need more aggressive pip right?
Amazon hires for 2-3 yrs into the future always. No layoffs
