Is amazon doing layoffs again?

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.”

Amazon Will Do layoff, so do other big techs.

Amazon MidSDE Jan 2

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

Amazon MidSDE Jan 2

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

Amazon yolo2023 Jan 2

Not necessarily, tbh.

Amazon rand(2023) Jan 2

Our org overall numbers were reduced by additional 5% and required additional reductions.

I was laid off end of Nov. My thanksgiving gift. They are letting people go in small pockets so that it stays quiet
