https://www.seattletimes.com/business/amazon/amazon-laying-off-corporate-employees-in-rare-cutback/ Are all the pivot - dev list posts related to this ?
Anybody from amazon wants to comment?
Twitch.
Just a few hundred. Nothing major
The target is 10,000 for 2018
Yes. They've been mostly targeting recent hires <1 year. 3 of my collegues / friends have been terminated.
In which teams ? Do you if they were under performers?
Recent hires are targeted? Hard to believe, I observed couple cases of < 6month guys, but wondering if that’s general rule. Can’t be.
In my 6 years at Amazon, I have seen couple of people getting fired within 6 months but they were all under performers
In which teams?
Layoffs have started in Softlines. April 16th is the date where many people will get 60 day notices. Private label brands in Softlines already saw a bunch of layoffs. This is not restricted to dev list or low performers. Even top performers are getting eliminated.
