Saw a bunch of Amazon layoffs. I know they regularly hire and fire people, but this seems like a really shitty time to do that to people.

- Aperocky 6y agoI saw 19/6563 and only 6 of them are software engineers. I wouldn't say that is a bunch in this time, more like regular process.
- amznthrowaway5 6y agoYeah, 5-10% of the workforce is fired yearly at Amazon due to forced attrition from stack ranking.
- jwilber 6y agoThe about claims this list is for covid19 layoffs? I work for Amazon, and (afaik) we’re not doing covid-related layoffs right now, so it seems a bit disingenuous to use this list if you were laid off for PIP/dev plan or other reasons. That said, the market is in a rough place right now, so I can’t blame anyone for doing what they can, but yeah.
