SDE in Alexa here. Joined for a year and severance pay is 🥜. They also lie about 2 months to find a new role (2 days left until they revoke access). Fak me. TC 0
I am seeing otherwise! 2 months to find job + 2 months severance + 1 week additional severance for every 6months in Amazon.
Is there a cap to that? What if you’ve been there 10 years? Would it really be 2 months + 20 weeks?
I heard that rumor, but it's not true. At least for me. @XRKR86, did you also get lay off. Will you have access to Slack after Wednesday?
Did you make a full year ?
Yes
OP what’s your location?
Seattle
Role and YoE?
You should be relieved because I honestly thought their severance offer was gonna be 0. I expected some bananas and a cup of coffee half off. Not even kidding
That's against the law.
There’s no federal law requiring companies to pay severance
Is online experience on the chop board too? Asking for a friend.
That's pretty good severance for not having been with the company for more than a year
4 weeks is gold standards for amazon to be honest.
When did they let you know about the layoff?
11/16
Sorry to hear mate. All the best for the job hunt
I’ve heard from multiple people that they give you 60 days to find a role internally (though idk if that still applies) and 2 month severance + additional weeks based on tenure. Wonder if < 1 year at Amazon means you get 🥜 severance
Is that 2month severance the salary for the 60days you get to find a job or is on top of the regular salary for the next 60days
