AWS won't have major layoffs. With a large reorg there will be high natural attention. Expect ramped up hiring for backfill soon.

I doubt ppl will voluntarily leave in this market…

Amazon VladPoutin Jan 16

Lots of randomized people unhappy. Only happy people are those who landed scope expansions. Folks are still landing offers and leaving at a healthy clip right now, and expect that will ramp up.

Amazon has been laying people off every week. A few hundred here, a few hundred there. It's adding up to thousands of people kind of going under the radar Today there were layoffs in Buy With Prime, Alexa and HR
