Laid off today 😕

I got an email at 5 in the morning telling me that I was laid off as of today. Few things I wish I did: - Stand up for myself when I was thrown between projects without asking me and was made to work 13-15 hours a day with a leadership who was arrogant and didn't acknowledge my hard work. - Changed teams when I had time. I got so busy trying to prove myself that it became too late. TC: 200k (not anymore) YOE: 3+ Role: SWE Org: Music #layoff #tech

Hope you can recover from this .. was this mass layoff ?

Amazon whwqnuewxw OP Nov 8, 2023

not sure 😔

which org. Did we have ongoing layoffs I don’t think it’s communicated right Are not complying to RTO or are you on pip or focus. Or is this a real layoff ?

Amazon whwqnuewxw OP Nov 8, 2023

I got a layoff email I'm not sure what the reason is

Amazon Tek980 Nov 8, 2023

So sorry to hear man. They didn’t even announce a layoff such scum bags. No transparency at all. Did they offer any severance to support the transition

Getting laid off is not about your performance or hardwork. I was promoted to customer in a round of layoffs. Almost 5 years of tenure, TT YoY, and a L6 promotion. I enjoyed my team and LT at that time. Too much competition for extremely limited internal roles at the time of layoffs so I just looked externally. I would still go back if I found another role. If you want to stay, look for internal positions (you are on payroll for 60 days which you can look internally for). Otherwise, just look externally.

have a few offers lined up but in the midst of h1b transfer

Then you're all set really. You have stuff in the works. It may be aggravating at first but you'll bounce back

Amazon music org had a fresh round of layoffs today. Not sure about the number of people impacted. Impacted people might not even have checked their emails yet
