Yet, Amazon has over 13,000 open tech positions: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/tech-roles https://www.amazon.jobs/en/landing_pages/tech-roles

  Surprise! In most large companies hiring and firing people are totally different, and rarely ever talk to each other. This is why in most companies if the top management wants to make a big layoff, they first let go the 'recruiting staff', and then work from there. In smaller layoffs, I'd imagine they'd continue to fill in open positions, while eliminating positions they think they don't need. There's also another thing where they want to fill in people where they think need for their newer/hot/important project which they think will give them better profits. And cut people/shut down projects which they think are not important/profitable.

  I get contacted by Amazon recruiters very often. I either ignore them or say it's not the right time for me.

    Just sent one to spam for putting "Urgent" on the email title and then outright lying or at least making misleading claim right in the first email.

    Two of these bozos contacted me on a personal address that I have never used for anything work-related, but does happen to be the email I have registered as my Amazon shopping account. When I wrote back and told them to stop spamming my personal address that had nothing to do with tech work, they said it wasn't their fault, because they had just bought the email list from someone else who had done the work to cross-reference my personal email address with my professional identity. As if that would give me any more trust in them as a company!? To me it just made me even more resolute never to work at any of those "big tech" outfits. None of them seem to care one bit about people's privacy.
