got the call today recruiter sounded like she was in tears, clearly has been doing this all day was for PM in Bay Area office. 1 mo severance fking sucks guys
You were paid one month severance for the rescinded offer ?
Org?
I’ve been seeing weird posts on LinkedIn today as well from HR staff at Amazon saying something like they are changing their status to open to work because they are being proactive in this climate. It makes me wonder if they were told to start looking but haven’t been laid off yet.
Wait they are giving severance for rescinding offers now?
Hope u didn’t resign yet or can at least go back to ur current job ?
Omg! Imagine the pain of h1b folks who had declined many other offers and accepted stupid Amazon offer.
For what it’s worth I worked a startup that did this to a hire in late 2008 and just left them hanging. That informed my decision to look for more stable work. America! Fuck Yeah!
Offer rescinded and also giving you severance?
their language is “one-time payout”, fair it’s technically not severance
A lot of people get that if a written and signed offer is rescinded (Twitter paid like 2 months back in May)
