This is what all the big corps are doing particularly the ones paying homage to the king. Verizon has done the same thing. One day you get the call (oh HR is on the line?). Bla bla basically you are out for 'business reasons'. Top performers, people gone missing, teams dismantled with the young inexperienced left to try to figure out what to do with no one to explain or guide them. Out see ya. Bye. Time to boycott.
@a1 How many H1B's cut in US? How many new H1B petitions does Amazon has filed?
All Jassy has done is cut/cut/cut, time to send Jassy packing
I copied a tweet which I linked in the original post, for those who don't have Twitter. I thought that was obvious.
Did you copy from chatgpt or Amazon nova?
People are finding out they’re gone in pieces:
• access half-working
• calendars erased before conversations happen
• leaders disappearing mid-day
• inboxes visible but locked
• work still paging after roles are dead
This isn’t performance-based.
Profitable teams were hit.
Top performers were hit.
Entire management layers are gone while systems kept running like nothing changed. WTF?
Timing isn’t random either:
• The cuts happened just before major vesting windows.
• Remote and non-hub workers were basically wiped out first.
• Some are being nudged into relocation choices...
I've spoken with parents on approved leave.
I've spoken with new hires barely unpacked.
I've spoken with managers learning they’re gone by checking their own calendars.
The survivors aren’t relieved either... so many are already looking for another job. Probably much to Amazon's chagrin.
This is what efficiency looks like in practice:
maximum silence, minimum explanation, zero accountability.
If you still think this is about trimming due to covid over-hiring, or H1Bs... you’re missing the point.
This is structural - and corporates are full steam ahead in their revolution.
