I gave interview in Amazon and cleared all the rounds , then went on hold and still on hold due to hiring freeze in that departement. HR does respond and update me when reached out.
Interesting thing which happened here is iam cracking each every product based interviews now after my tough preparation for Amazon and getting higher packages than what Amazon would give. So whatever happens , happens for good. Cheers Amazon

Fears of a recession are reasonably causing people to take a second look at their job security.

Temporary. Everywhere, not just big tech.
There is alot of truth in your comments. We were taught that the company rewarded loyalty, determination, sacrifice, etc. But it is based on the culture and not so much as policy. Policy is used only as a tool to get rid of someone who has offended a new manager or the friend of one.
How would you explain working for a major company, when the year before you earned 17-18 power of you awards, with each one worth $25.00 to $250.00. Only to be told the next year with new people new leaders in place that your work is suddenly not up to par.
You find a quality and safety issue that cost the company a good deal of money to pull off the shelves and should have cost a few people their jobs.
Co-workers, many you considered friends, to just turn the other way while you got burned. No longer company loyalty providing the attitude of the bosses only their desire to see you gone. Then about a year later the cover up was exposed and the company terminated the plant manager
Department manager, line manager, not forhaving participated in the cover up, but for being outsiders and convenient.
Loyalty would have come to me and offered my employment back.
I guided my life around loyalty. But not certain I will anymore.
So temporary and fleeting. I refuse to bend over backwards for a company anymore. Trust no employer.
Feeling that as well
No company cares. We are all pawns to the bottomline.

I can really relate to your experience — it’s a harsh reminder that loyalty in the workplace is often more about circumstance than commitment. When navigating career changes, having access to reliable information can make a big difference, like using Massachusetts court records https://massachusettscourtrecords.org to verify professional or legal backgrounds when needed. It’s tough, but sometimes stepping back and reassessing priorities helps you focus on environments where mutual trust is more than just a temporary alignment.
In the last half year, my team manager was keep confirming my work was updated to github. And I get laid off. Now it looks like a sign...
Loyalty gets you no where, been in the same place for near 4 years and not even a look into any form of progression
No, don't. They will only care KPI. I also do long hours, then I get disability, then I get fired.
Loyalty only gets you so far. At the end of the day, it's a business and commercial pressures dictate who the business needs and who to let go. I was made redundant last year from a job I thought I would stay in until I retired. It was a good five years with great people but ultimately the business needs won out over personal connection so I don't take it personally. However, for my next role I'm going to make sure I'm better prepared to be thrown back into the job market.

Stability isn't something an employer can create - they have market and profitability goals that have nothing to do with you, personally. Work as hard as your own integrity and work ethic demand, and keep an eye on the market, always.
A strong work ethic and results is NEVER a waste - keep a portfolio and be ready to market yourself to your boss, your clients, your next employer. YOU are your own stability.
