Layoff warnings

Seems like Amazon again started another round of layoffs

Amazon layoff My friend got an email stating layoffs have started and people are being contacted on the same!!

Amazon Microsoft, Google, etc. All layying off people. They just started sending emails today morning for US/Canada. India/EU would be sent next week so we dont know the exact numbers yet. Same information going on Blind, hundreds of Amazon employees laid off in the morning.

Had heard from someone that there were layoffs supposed to happen this week at AWS. Just heard from a colleague that someone they know was asked to leave today. Does anyone know more?

Am seeing new posts about layoffs at Amazon are these new ? or part of the old one ?

Amazon Global Communications Operations Undergo Layoffs The spokesperson said- “We regularly review the structure of our teams and make adjustments based on the needs of the business and, following a recent review, we’ve made the difficult decision to eliminate a small number of roles on our communications team.” https://deadline.com/2023/10/amazon-communications-layoffs-1235565092/

Read news recently about Amazon being set to lay off again with about 9000 employees. Hypocritically the same Amazon was found to be hiring a few days back for some roles in Customer Support and a few others.

According to a report, Amazon will be terminating 10,000 jobs starting this week, which represents less than 1% of its 1.5 million global employees and around 3% of the company's corporate staff.

Heard from multiple colleagues that they could cut Ads and AWA teams in India. Wouldn’t be surprised if this happens on Tuesday or Wednesday just before the earnings calls. All the best folks!
