Senior AWS dev claims Amazon is quietly trying to encourage employees to quit in a push to covertly cut numbers::A senior developer at AWS has claimed the tech giant is conducting a “silent sacking” campaign in a bid to covertly cut numbers and avoid negative press.
In 2021, Amazon was hiring software engineers like mad. They would spam my inbox 3-4 times per week, each email from a different recruiter. Now they’re playing this game. It’s their own damn fault they over hired. Now they should pay these people a severance.
Everyone was doing this. Especially e-comm and delivery companies. If you worked in tech you could trip and fall into a new job before 2022.
I worked in grocery delivery company, and everyone in leadership was certain the order volume would stay once the pandemic died down. They were fucking morons.
Shocker, people actually wanted to get out of the house after being trapped inside for months.
I knew a guy who worked in wallpaper, he insisted that sales would stay up after 2020 because this was the “new normal”…would not listen to anyone who asked him what would happen when the post-pandemic housing market slowed and the government stimulus checks dried up…he couldn’t even conceive of a market turn, this guy was teaching night classes to college students…

Yeah, at least some of the delivery companies could argue, some had a reason to try their service for the first time, and some might like it.
You can only wallpaper your walls so many times a decade before people think you’re insane.
