Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

Is this accurate? Amazon only recently opened some in London.
If so, it looks like even more layoffs at Amazon. For the third year running, multiple arms of the business have been running rolling layoffs, where every 6-12 months jobs will go...all while they continue to hire more people, without a mechanism to move laid-off folks into available roles.
You get 30 days of continued pay with an assigned internal recruiter to help you do an internal job search.
But honestly, who the fuck wants to get the, "you're being laid off." and still want to work for the company when there's a giant severance check waiting for you to get out of that toxic hell-pit?
Everyone I know who works for/has worked for Amazon treated it like a deal with the devil. The money was good but they will push you into the ground for as long as you can take it. And then a bit longer.
