Same as title. Lot of people have posted on LinkedIn their crying pics which makes my heart melt.

Well for Amazon fear of lay off is not a new thing. We live by this fear everyday. Now it’s time for other folks as well to taste the same medicine.

Time to avoid startups and companies with poor cash flow.

Metaverse -> Omniverse

    Agree with the sentiment. Hopefully there's no lay off issues for most, but the last company I was at laid off 10% of the company due to COVID-19 1 month into the pandemic as a cost savings measure (technically didn't lose any money yet).

    Felt bad for some people because they were confident our company wouldn't lay anyone off. Saying things like "We survived 2008 we'll survive this." But they failed to take into consideration there was a new CEO and new investment partner, Vista equity.

    When the company saw a chance to dump people they did. Glad I left in the end.

      @famah sorry to hear that. It wasn't a fun experience, my manager actually got laid off and we lost our architect and PM. We started taking on more responsibilities with less resources. It sucked.

      Made me not want to work with any company with Vista. Matter of fact I knew which companies to avoid because their job portal explicitly said to "Tell your manager about this application before continuing' if you work at a Vista backed company.

      Total red flag. Avoid them like the plague now.

  • Is this in response to the printing press closing shop?

    Don't worry, if you are laid off you will have a temporary gig at Amazon. Recruiters blasting inmails all year long FFS.
