I got laid off from Amazon and coped in the healthiest way possible: used my severance to turn the corporate absurdity into a card game.

Each card is a scenario you have to defend like a corporate leader while everyone else votes if your explanation deserves a promotion or a PIP.

Basically corporate improv therapy.

Honest question: would you actually play something like this?

I’m pretty passive when I’m disrespected by creative but I think it sets a bad example for my team. If any of my reports were spoken to the way I was I’d raise hell...how set example?

Hello Everyone,

My brother is looking for a job. He previously worked at Amazon as TRMS . They were not on roll so got laid off last month.

On notice period 2 months left and have offer from Infosys with 120% hike.
.NET tech- 3.5 years of experience.(support)
No other offer as of now. Any suggestions on this situation. I am trying in other companies as well.
Can I depend on Infosys that they won't revoke offer or create any issue.
Also I am going to ask Infosys to postpone joining by 15 days as I don't have any Break post my LWD from current company.
Layoffs, offer revoke , joining postponed and hiring stoped... All this news 😥

Hi all,

Hey folks. Question for the majority of us still under the big 3 holding co’s...are raises a thing anymore? I’ve been at my (smaller) agency almost 5yrs and got one raise (a nice $12k bump) during that time—is that sufficient? Is one increase in that span normal? I also recognize being somewhere 5 years is rare these days. The honeymoon period at any agency seems to be 2.5—3yrs before bolting. Not complaining, just asking. Have y’all been getting raises/bumps in any kind of regular cycle? Thx.

Need some advice. Currently 32 YO with $23.7k in student loans, $60k in retirement, and $54k in cash. Want to pay off loans by end of year, max out 401k, and save for a house. Does it make sense to use $10k from pension to pay down loans and the rest from cash? How much should I have in my 401k by this point?

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this? For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?

Please share your best tips/process of building and prioritizing product roadmaps. Any templates or resources will be super helpful too.
