Garman sent out email today. Several hundred impacted. Everyone will be notified by 0530PST #amazon
Yup! Got an email to my personal this AM "Important information about your role"
I’m sorry to hear that. Hope you can find another one soon
Sorry man! Stay strong!
It seems cruel to send out an email and make people worry just for cutting several hundred in such a big company. One of my old companies (500k employees) would just have the 1:1 conversations immediately without any mass notice especially when it was such a small percentage. If your department wasn’t hit you’d eventually find out but never really stress about it. Eventually your team would get hit and that week would suck but not often.
Unless I’m misunderstanding and they only emailed those impacted
What the poster is saying is that being laid off should be in a 1:1 with your manager and not an impersonal email. I agree.
90 days full pay and benefits for NY state, anyone know how this impacts RSU vesting?
FAQs I think confirm vesting continues during 60 or 90 day period.
I confirmed with HR the termination date is the last day of the notification window….so if your RSU vest between now and the 60 (or 90 days) you will get your RSU.
Whats several hundred? How can they even afford to lay off people at aws. Its like a core business
Several hundred was the exact verbiage from the email. Cutting sales lowers bottom line costs.
Even rocket scientists get laid off nowadays.. literally. You would think these are the most irreplaceable talent, but nope still impacted. "Permanent" jobs in the US are a fuckin joke now. The only difference between them and contract roles is literally a timesheet and less benefits.
OP, I hope this is an April fools joke. Good luck y’all! Stay strong
It’s April 3 bruh
been sleeping at my desk too long then 😅
Is this German or states also?
OP said Garman (probably a person), not German
She is the human resources SVP, even I got my layoff notification from her in 2023.
Couldn’t find any WARN notices
They keep the laid off employees on the books for 60 days after notification and as a result WARN notices aren’t required
It will show up in a day or two
The best part is today is PCS day - this is the day you are allowed to have comp conversations
Uh..wym. You're legally allowed every day to do that.
Today is the day you find out what your raise is
That’s shit… how is the severance!
its gonna be nice as usual
I got an email from Aws recruiter regarding the opportunity. Should I pass then?
Yes it’s all about you
Can I speak to iron man please?
