> If they lay people off in good times, then that is a serious indication of trouble at the company. I used to work at Amazon from 2001-2006 and every single year there was a round of layoffs of several percent after the annual 360 degree review nonsense was completed. That was part of the whole "topgrading" nonsense to keep negging all the rest of the remaining employees. Did they actually have to stop doing that, or is this whole "nobody ever did layoffs in tech up until this year" narrative something invented in the past few months?
