Yes and no. These layoffs are limited to corporate employees. IIRC, that’s a third of all employees. Also, this is Amazon and not AWS, as the latter has allegedly decided to up URA targets for 2023.

- haasted 4y agoGood question. I googled, and it may be "unregretted attrition rate," or URA, which represents the percentage of employees that managers aren't sad to see leave the company — whether they part ways voluntarily or otherwise.

- mabbo 4y agoUnregretted Rate of Attrition. Within every org of ~100+ people, they stack rank and cut the bottom K%. It used to be 4%. Now it's 7%. They get put onto a PIP, and very few improve enough to stay.
