Saw a LinkedIn post by a guy that said “Hello everyone, Unfortunately, I was impacted by the #amazonlayoffs and my role has been eliminated. I would never have imagined that I'd be making a post like this less than a year into my career yet here we are. The news is extremely shocking and disappointing and it's turned my life upside down overnight. I joined #amazon as SDE-1 in the #lastmiledelivery team. Although my tenure was relatively short, I'm extremely grateful for the chance to learn and work with some incredible engineers and managers building next-generation experience for Amazon. It indeed was worth being my dream company. I am actively looking for SDE positions and would really request my LinkedIn community to help me find one. I have great experience with #javascript , #aws , #reactjs, #C++ , #mysql , #nodejs .js, and few other languages and frameworks. Please have a look at my resume to know me better. Resume link in comments.”
Lol...sounds like he is still looking.
Layoffs is a 2023 term Restructuring is a 2024 mindset
Amazon Will Do layoff, so do other big techs.
Bad news: This is true. This time, there is no pre-announcement like in 2022 Nov. Amazon will do it secretly and speedily. Good news: It might be less than 18,000 as of 2023 Jan.
Do you name it as "re-org"…we are doing it in Meta right now, feel like a small layoff
NHIN37, I do not 100% sure. But clearly sort of "Layoff" is coming, did you hear about AWS in China will be re-org and are facing big change now?
That would have been PIPed … mostly happens more often between Jan to Feb due to updated head count provided by org leaders
Not yet officially announced
My manager said this Jan there might be AWS layoffs
I was laid off end of Nov. My thanksgiving gift. They are letting people go in small pockets so that it stays quiet
Hi, I am interviewing for a PM role and wanted to know how small are small pockets like what % of the team / org?
I saw the same post too, checked the guy's profile Looks like he was laid off around8 months ago
I saw the same post the person last working day in amazon was in may 2023 i think
Yeah I saw that too
