Not fired but I dream of saying “I quit” to my team lead daily

Maybe it's not included in your employment/ job offer. Typically directors and above (from what I recall) have it as part of their offer letter.

I did, got severance and unemployment, ended up with a better job making more money with fewer hours.

@Tax1 it was mostly valid with a sprinkling of budget cuts. My performance slipped due to COVID and endless wfh, then had some pandemic related family issues that further impacted my performance. Management seemed like they would have been more willing to work through it if we weren’t in a pandemic, but honestly I was miserable and already looking for an out.

Still in a pandemic. Hiring freezes are still in place. Seeing a lot of local businesses go under. Do you think things will turn around in September or get worse? Do you think there will be more layoffs or terms “due to performance” and more businesses lost?

When will be the next round of Digital Nexus layoffs in Montvale?

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.
