How much Js7 maximum budget should be??
Has anyone interviewed with Amazon in the last 6 months. I finished my loop for a finance role. It’s been 8 business days and no update from the recruiter. I mailed the recruiter who said apologies for the delay but we will get back to you with next steps. Has anyone had this experience and what was the outcome Amazon

No. They also didn’t send an email about Robert Redford or Ozzy Osbourne dying.
These comments are honestly twisted. If you don’t know the difference between what happened to Charlie Kirk and what happened to George Floyd, there is zero reason to try to educate you. Sad how many in this country think.
RIP Charlie, I consider myself a fan of his, but I don’t need my corporate overlords to put out some hackneyed statement to honor someone they never interacted with in any way.
To be honest, I don’t like the virtue signaling statements on the left either, but I don’t see a double standard.
B4 have done a lot to cozy up to the current administration (normal — happens every time there’s a shift in parties at all major corporations) and DEI efforts are being deprioritized and rebranded at all four.
I honestly think if this had happened on a Monday you would have seen statements. But with the timing of when it happened it was unclear what the reaction would be. Corporate played it safe and by the time the hagiography had been written, it was already the next week and it would have been way too obvious to publish something.
I have no doubt they’d fire me for posting that I think his murder was a horrible and completely unjustifiable event but that he was also a bad person and that his rhetoric contributed to the political climate that created a culture where people on the fringe resort to violence.
That’d be an overreaction just like firing someone for saying they don’t get the BLM movement would be. Standard seems to be the same: fire people who argue against the party in power’s position publicly in case it harms the ability to get government contracts.
I don’t recall any messaging after the Donald Trump assassination attempt either - only liberal causes are mourned. Evil and hate exists in this world based on some of these responses - sad to see
Brilliant response AC1
Why on earth would they?
Because they did for BLM
By the time he’d been declared a martyr and all of his past sins whitewashed over, it was too late for corporate communications departments to put anything together.
For the record, his murder should be roundly condemned. But it took about 48 hours for the hagiography to be created and by then it’d look to much like corporate pandering so nothing came out.
I personally think we should remember him by plainly speaking about the views he plainly spoke about. Man was a huge negative for the United States. Doesn’t mean he deserved to die.
As one who didn’t know who he was before he was murdered, I did look up/hear the things he said. And trust me, I won’t forget the racism, misogyny and the white supremacy he spoke about. Nor the irony of saying a few deaths were worth it to protect the 2nd amendment rights. Still not saying his murdered was justified for any reason or acceptable. But just because people don’t mourn him it doesn’t mean we hate him. No one has to like or agree with what others say.
Nope… doesn’t meet the one tru narrative. RIP Charlie
They “claim” to be Christian, they can claim to be purple too, doesn’t mean they are. What they do and how they speak isn’t Christian at ALL.
There’s no reason to

There was no "virtue signaling" opportunity here.
The over all message to condone violence as we have always done in the past. Additional employees may be impacted by this tragedy and firms should offer similar resources to them as they have with any other tragedy.
Did the Big Four Acct's firms offer grief counseling or send an announcement when school students are shot and killed? I am confused by the OP
Nah. But all the Big 4 firms sent out emails after George Floyd was killed.
I mean, we should know what that spin looks like by rote by now. They had to work a lot harder to (try to) make this guy who loudly, frequently, and publicly called school kids unfortunate but acceptable collateral damage for 2nd amendment and meanwhile advocated concentration camps for people who disagreed with him and support the 1st amendment L👀K like the victim when some guy with the same appearance came after him on his own principles. Much harder to keep on keepin on when your party’s ideology has historically eaten its own.
Check out the paradox of tolerance.
Pretending Charlie was a simple podcaster or martyr and not an absolute hate-mongering, libelous Nazi fool of a fraud who got what he actively advocated for others is disgraceful and disingenuous.
If people want to be spoken well of when dead, they should have uttered something other than hate, lies, and violence. Full stop.
The firms generally try to stay out of politics. IMO they shouldn’t have gotten pulled into the DEI morass. RIP Charlie. 🇺🇸
Do we expect a message for every time we have gun violence?
Horne LLP: Correct that I never heard of the MN legislative leaders before what happened but most of us never heard of Charlie Kirk before last week either. To claim one ‘side’ has a monopoly on sympathy or denouncing death is just silly.
Why would you think that any firm would?
Because we were all forced to take a knee for George Floyd and have multiple discussions. How quickly we all forget.
ick why would they
KPMG sent corporate emails on George Floyd, the Atlanta spa shooting, Stop Asian Hate, BLM, January 6, etc. They even trumpeted funding for out-of-state travel to sidestep state abortion restrictions. Yet, in a stunning display of hypocrisy, banned me from the office based on my Covid vax status.
its concerning to know managers like this exist who think right wing nutjob dying deserve recognition from all companies lol
Deloitte didn’t send an email about the terrorist in New Orleans that was literally employed by our firm
Lmfao
he got what he deserved. Shame on American media for pandering to the right after he died.
Cool that you can post this under the anonymity of fish bowl. Go and be a man and post the same comment where your name isn’t hidden. See how long you have a job. The left talks about hate and then they post stuff like this…this is hate!!
Why would they? He was a social media content creator who took one for the team to preserve my 2nd amendment rights.
No, but we got one when Taylor Swift got engaged.
Kelce will never be happy. I dont feel sorry for him.
