Got laid off today. Remember to take a step back and not take all of this for granted. We're all pretty lucky to have this opportunity. And good luck to everyone up for promotion this year!

Good luck OP. take some time to yourself and recoup. Remember, you've been knocked down before, and maybe not this hard, but you will be able to pick yourself back up, dust yourself off, and 5 years from now you'll likely barely recall this wrinkle.

Thanks for the kind words, everyone. Means a lot. D1, luckily I don't have a spouse/kids/home/etc and have a great family and support system so I don't have to worry about finances much. I think it's all a blessing in disguise.

Don't really want to give away specifics but it's not necessarily the reorg. More lack of projects. I wouldn't worry too much if you're being utilized.

What was the reason OP?

Was it bad utilization and you're staffed on something now, or were you unstaffed when they laid you off? Also, did you set up your CRT or did the partner?

I recently asked for a raise as looking up medical assistant and years of experience in my area and found that I am not at market value for my position and 12 years of experience. I have not asked for one before or ever had any HR issues, write ups, warnings, etc. HR came back stating no to a increase as I am at 108% already per their market value. Does this make sense to anyone?

Question on on labor laws in the US:

Received an offer from Amazon but I'm concerned about negotiating hard and ending up with an offer that's on the higher end of the pay band when compared to the rest of the (future) team. My concern is during an economic downturn, it would be easier to let me go if the team needs to be downsized. This would be because I would have the least experience on the team & more expensive to retain from a cost perspective.

My concerns valid? #amazon #aws #faang
