Based on Jassy’s note, which areas of AWS are likely to be hardest hit?
Swe is dead
Lol
Riiiiiight
PMT most likely? SWE is hard to get rid of due to tech debt
Lol. For every PMT, 4 SDEs would be let go. SDE is easy to find in the market out of all roles
Wuta you can't fire and hire new sde right away
They may barely touch AWS, I guess low performers only?
Why give severance to low performers when they can fire anyways?
Coz AWS is considered untouchable even with so much bloat! They were aggressively putting people in the lower perf bracket, so I assume either they will be PIP’d or laid off. The quality of people in some of the orgs (sales/l&d) was way lower than rest of the Amazon employees. I hope they realize it.
Most of blinders r SWE and why r u even voting on yourselves...
Do you think the poll result is how they’ll choose to lay people off?
Everyone wants it to be swe, but it might be mostly HR and business/finance teams
Security engineering?
I hope it is the L&D & Sales Enablement orgs in AWS, they are bloated with really low quality talent compared to rest of Amazon. It was a revolving door and I’m sure it still is! The entire org should be gone!
ProServ is gonna be axed
I agree. I think ProServe is going to take a major hit. If I was an L7 in ProServe I’d start polishing the resume because that shit is gonna get axed.
Are those cloud infrastructure architect roles at proserve? A lot of people are on bench from past few months.
What about Support Engineering, PS. PS CSEs headcount is high. Managers were talking about more heads in team. Case volume has dropped like 80% no cx needs enterprise support plan. I think PS will be slaughtered with thousands cuts.
Agreed- look- ProServe loses ridiculous money in the name of driving up utility. There’s no way they are going to keep that many folks around. If you aren’t close to hitting your quota in ProServe, or you don’t have good utilization or aren’t specialized in a growth area- you have problems. Personally, I think ProServe has enough problems that they are going to take an axe to a lot of leadership and try to align it more closely to Sales.

Why is our country owned by Israel? I don't want my tax dollars fund genocide. How can we stop this nonsense?
Proserve, most likely.
ProServe is gonna take a hard, hard hit. Loses tons of money.
And have clearly overhired. And the pipe for real projects that are materializing is pretty dry, relatively speaking.
