I don’t know if BDO is the same but at B4 they can only confirm dates of employment. They are not allowed to disclose anyone being fired.

Highly recommend that you negotiate with the HR and make this a resignation. They will have a memo internally but on background checks and on your applications you can say voluntaryily pursuing other positions.

Plus agree with Pwc1, they ll only confirm position, dates of employment, and office location. That's it. Sucks to be there, but chin up and good luck!

My understanding is even with reference they can only confirm you worked there.

EY1, I disagree, depending on the situation and the position, it may be better to be fired and collect a good severance package

Might be too late but just exit before that occurs. Either way the past employer can only talk about performance and only vaguely

I don’t think it would be too hard but if they ask for a reference that might be a challenge.

Yessss ^

GT1, ok, what do you call a process when a company is letting go of the employee based on poor performance?

Anyone else notice a trend with the mass amounts of layoffs in tech? Why are all their resumes so jumpy? Not like 2-5 years jumpy, like few months at a time jumpy? But still can land a position with similar tech giants? IMO, lots of these people get hired by their rich friends, stay a few months before someone realized they aren’t qualified and were just a recommendation from a current employee. Then repeat that process over and over until your company is down 50%

Starting therapy tomorrow. A little bit nervous tbh. I have not been performing well at work and I am trying to get back to being a solid performer before I get end up getting fired. I was wondering, how do you communicate this sort of thing with your team? My therapist wants to do a 9am call and i’m worried something may pop up during my session. I also don’t want to work and do personal stuff at the same time. I feel like such a mess rn 😔

Anyone have any idea when the hiring freeze might end within AWS ProServ? I’m currently at Amazon and have a TS clearance, PMP & CSM. I come from a Big4 consulting firm with a background in Enterprise Performance. I’ll be honest and say I’m not feeling very safe in my current role with the ongoing layoffs. Instead of leaving, I’d love to go back to my “consulting roots” and join the ProServ team. I’m taking my AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner exam next weekend. Hoping this freeze is lifted soon.

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?

Working at a company and they can’t seem to hold on to their female, black and people of color employees. I blinked and 3 of the people who were in my onboarding class were either fired or they left.
