Anyone in town worried about the next round of Amazon layoffs? I'm so stressed out. Only got the job a few months ago and I feel like it'll be last in, first out. If you're an entry level analyst and you like where you work tell me where I should apply, I moved here for this job 😭😭😭

I am so sorry to hear you are stressed. Praying that you do not get laid off.

No job is ever layoff-proof. That said, there's no need to panic. That will only make your job search that much more stressful. You don't even know yet whether you're going to be in trouble, so you do have some breathing room. Just start applying for any openings you find interesting and take it from there. Hang in there - whatever happens, you will be fine.

This is basically what I've been aiming to do lately.

I'm with you. I don't work there but my employer is also rolling out layoffs this month. I get worried every time I hear about layoffs in tech. I hope you don't get affected.

Same here! Better to look for plan B now. I started looking for other job opportunities just in case.

Same sentiments. We could never be too confident and sure about our jobs. Hoping for the best but kinda expecting the worst.

Not at Amazon or in tech but see the writing on the wall. Be proactive and start looking. Keep your chin up!
