Why did Amazon decide to follow Twitter and Meta? Are they just majorly following the trend, copying one another’s strategy without truly looking in their individual circumstances? Amazon seems to be capable of weathering the economic conditions without layoffs. Please educate me

I can’t believe this is a real question. You think that a $1T company will lay off its talent just because others are doing it, and your assumption is they aren’t looking at their own situation to figure out if they should do it?

Q3 tech earnings were really week. Time to cull the mistake hires from the past two years’ hiring spree.

If they were looking to cut fat anyway, it’s a good time to blend into the crowd

All of their stock is in the gutter, layoffs seem to be helping raise it

Does anyone think it’s weird that my firm is bending over backwards to try to keep a first year staff from leaving the firm after she was rated a 2 this year. But now she’s trying to leave and they keep trying to push her to stay saying she can be a partner in 8-9 years and laying it all out in detail. The issue is they laid off other staff (all but her) so maybe that’s it? Find it very odd.
