Layoffs at Omnicom shops today?
History of BCG layoffs anyone?
Although Amazon has instituted a hiring freeze and layoffs are probably on their way, I went through the loop for a security engineer position at AWS. Before I attended the final interviews, Amazon placed the hiring freeze and called me to ask if I wanted to go ahead or cancel my application. I decided do go ahead Right now I'm waiting for their response and the position I applied to changed from "under consideration" to "no longer under consideration". Thoughts?
So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Ask for a pay increase and then pay your husband to take work off your hands under the table? That is some uncharted territory for me. stay full of love a gratitude. Focus on what is true and good. We could have everything the world can offer, but without thankfulness, we truly have nothing at all.
Maybe your friends are also going through a stressful time much like you are. Have you reached out to them to see how they are doing or to ask for advice?
Remember you still have your job too, yet are struggling. It’s hard to tell how someone’s doing from the outside
I just went through a layoff a few weeks ago. It was incredibly unexpected, and as someone who has always considered herself a great contributor to my work environments, I took it really personally.
A few things I did that helped (other than cry a bunch the first few days…):
• Went on hikes, did yoga: Helped me focus on the present instead of spiraling and ruminating.
• Listened to podcasts: Googled specifically for episodes on layoffs. They helped redirect my internal narrative and take things less personally.
• Nurtured existing relationships with ex-coworkers: Reached out via LinkedIn to say thanks to people I enjoyed working with. A few people didn’t even know right away that I had been let go. I took this this outreach in my own hands because I knew that some might probably think “Oh, she might want space.” Or “She might not want to be reminded of what happened.” Start the dialogue yourself and see where it goes. I found it to be really helpful. People were supportive, surprised that I was let go, and I left the conversations feeling like I had made a positive impact, regardless of the unfortunate outcome.
Good luck, it’ll be tough, but it’s a manageable setback, and you both will come out of it better in the long run.
Thanks for this! I appreciate it. I think if I initiate some outreach when I’m ready I will feel better too. wish you all the best with your search thanks again for sharing this with me it’s really helpful :)
Anyone that’s also experiencing this? People you thought would care not reaching out? Anything you can share about your experience I’d love to hear and even if it’s not strategies or advice to help…just hearing other experiences would be helpful🙏🏽
Yes they definitely know. I guess that’s the case that they don’t want to pry but to me it feels like that’s them rationalizing not reaching out. Maybe it makes them uncomfortable so it’s easier to not say anything.
The thing is it’s pretty shocked people I had friendships with outside of work are even not reaching out. It’s unique situation for me too because I still work at the company. I feel so isolated besides my immediate team. I’m trying to not think about it because it hurts. I’m getting better as each week goes by as well. :( thanks for sharing your experience I really appreciate it. It’s very helpful
