But after Halloween. Too scary.

Just curious if cyber security was impacted in Irvine ca

I just cancelled mine. Your membership will end on 2 November 2025 At that time you will lose your benefits, and your card will not be charged.

Anyone who was laid off yesterday and desperately wanted to sell their houses, I’m here. Price won’t be great but at least for your financial emergency. Don’t thumb this down! This is reality, face iand accept it.

So, given what happened yesterday, how impacted was AWS, particularly the actual techs who worked there?

Allegedly half, around 7,500 people, were notified yesterday. Are they aiming for 14,000 total in this round, or will it continue in January?

thats it. thats the post

This is tough. Anyone knows which orgs were affected the most?

They deserve it.

The vast majority of jobs lost today are just going offshore. And some of the work will be dumped on the people who remain, flooding them even more.

Have all the communications been shared with those affected by today’s layoffs?

So 14000 is only 4% of corporate. 27000 was in fact the largest in history. And there are so many redundant layers of management still.

While this will include reducing in some areas and hiring in others, it will mean an overall reduction in our corporate workforce of approximately 14,000 roles. We’re working hard to support everyone whose role is impacted, including offering most... — read more

I’d rather find out tomorrow than spend days or weeks being a nervous wreck.

It'd be an interesting development.

Any thoughts?

If you are working 7 days a week, your RTO will be 7. It's a simple formula, 6 days in office for everyone exept for the folks who work all 7 days, they will be coming in 7 days, we'll call that Full-RTO.

I am having anxiety, any idea about how much severance will be given.

I heard quite a few bottom performing L6+ folks got their notice today at AWS…… with a hearty severance. Can anyone confirm?

Now that would be very spooky!
