Seeing some really wild things coming out of Amazon right now. It seems the company is leaving no stone unturned to make it a terrible place to to work? 1. Perf / pip culture has always been an issue. 2. Mandatory RTO, for people who had remote approvals as well. 3. Mandatory Return to Hub 4. Looks like new offers aren’t getting higher TCs as well 5. Someone just posted a thread that their manager has asked them to be oncall every weekend upto Q2 2024. Amazon managers can you shed some light? Do you’ll have any back bone, or only disagree and commit?
This shit is coming down from the SVP level. Even some VPs were in the dark about much of this until it happened
True. Been a harrowing experience so far. 😭
Dharmesh, Rajesh, Sridharan, Harini and Priyanka will sign offers for $100k if they have to due to visa problems. Amazon knows this and hence lowballs
You missed Rahul.
Oddly racist. You can take your xenophobia somewhere else.
Would love to know. My theory is that Andy got his feelings hurt because he’s not as good or beloved as Jeff and is burning down the house.
He’s a guy that ran AWS from the point of efficiency, very different from running parts of the business that depend on end user facing innovation.
Gobble gobble
Time to GTFO from Amazon
Manager here. Quick responses: 1. PIP process will not change. If you are a VP or above level manager there might be some hope. 2 & 3. Three months after RTO mandate offices are still pretty empty with employees vowing not to come back. This is an evolving space which may end up in layoffs ultimately (my personal guess). 4. Temporary Supply Demand. Should go back to normal once industry recovers. 5. Looks like the employee is posting on Blind when they should be talking to their skip/HR. Blind cant help in this situation.
Do you personally prefer rto? Were we less productive during covid wfh? Be candid. Ty.
4. What happened when Amazon didn’t provide stocks to existing employees citing price appreciation is included in TC? 2&3 this is also driven by market. It would dilute quality of engineers hired by Amazon which is already low. 5. You can say that for every blind post. Talking with skip and manager is useless in Amazon as most of them are slaves themselves just like you.
Earth's best employer 🙄 leaving Amazon was the best thing I ever did
Did you jump to Intuit? How do you like it there?
I really like it! Great benefits, smart and kind employees, and awesome work-life balance. I really believe Intuit takes care of it's employees. Main frustrations are that things can move slowly here, and we're culturally way too focused on collaboration and consensus (instead of just getting things done). Note: I am not an engineer or technical
There’s energy surge happening lol
😂😂😂
Once jobs market picks up again, all these guys who have lowball offers would jump ship again
Actually even the ones with high offers would not hesitate jumping ship ..the fact remains that human greed is never ending and ppl will always try to find better and most prestigious companies to improve their CVs and compensation ...hence even companies have started treating employees as commodities just like employees treat companies
Employers have always treated employees as commodities while expediting unwavering loyalty. I’m so happy that I don’t have to attend forced happy hours and other events.

5 is a BS. Rest is true.
Check out this post! "My boss wants me to work 7 days a week (Tech Industry)" https://us.teamblind.com/s/DQXsb6Vr
Not true bruh. That’s ripe for a PR debacle if that manager is dumb enough to ask something like that.
