Seems like they’ve all had layoffs we have another warn notice for Takeda in MA and there will be layoffs (exec team calling it “the efficiency program” aka layoffs) for the next two years. We completed year 1 of a 3 year plan so I would avoid Takeda for now.

The "efficiency" initiative started several years ago, Prior to Dan the supply chain began condensing, Folks rapidly departed in droves because they were bored to tears, decisions had to follow a monolithic philosophy & approvals/decisions were reviewed/undermined from the VP level down to the Manager.

What departments were hit?

R&D was hit just over a year after IT "leadership" pushed a bunch of folks out...hate to hear it then,and hate hearing this now

Tech company lay offs….are they soon to be inevitable?!

There is lots of companies really taking a hit in the tech space. Is this something that people are nervous about? Many seem to still be having a hiring push but with the button falling (IMO this is still just start we have a long way to go to bottom out) will that halt and layoffs ensue? And if so, which depts do you think will get hit the hardest?

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.
