Hello,
I have an accepted offer from Amazon with start date early next month. With the hiring freeze in place I am worried that layoffs will be next and new hires are more at risk when it comes to layoffs. This is making me wonder if it is good time to switch. Would really appreciate some input in this matter.

Zero. I’m the customer. I’m the one with the money. I’m not going to chase them and beg. They should be building a relationship with me.
PREACH!!!!!!!

This is just sad, an OP is supposed to be the beginner rolex.
Agree. Unfortunately they’ve become impossible to get and are going for multiples of retail on the secondary market.

Why do you guys do this to yourself? These posts feel like when I’ve talked to female friends who keep taking back guys who were cheating pieces of shit.
“If I just lost a bit of weight, or got my hair dyed, then he’d…”
They’re just not that into you, stop giving them your money. There is only one vote that really matters, the one that you make with your wallet. The only way these things change is if you stop rewarding bad behavior. Not saying you did anything wrong OP, hope you like your watches, but if people actually want to buy something different eventually make them explicitly state what you need to do for that rather than vague building of a history.

You can develop a relationship with an AD, or you can go to the grey market, or you can hope to get lucky. The last option is fine if you’re generally indifferent about owning a Rolex and the timing involved. Platitudes about being the customer with the money are naive when it comes to scarce luxury goods.
Scarce?? We’re not talking about trying to all get Patek Grande Complications here…

Similar experience OP. Two watch purchases and not even on a list for an OP at my AD (independently owned)
Bowl Leader
Which color OP?

Yeah, those two, and the green and the Tiffany Blue are just stupid right now. Doesn’t surprise me they won’t take your name. Bright Black or Bright Blue would probably be a different story.
I genuinely like my AD as a person so my relationship is valuable beyond Rolexes. I’m fairly new to him and he’s been very good to me so this instance is important to me.
