Someone should tell the two recruiters in my inbox...

Recruiters are actually slow in this development, because it happens last night after 8 PM PST.

Effectively no offer would be able to generate through the system.

I would say the Amazon spam will go away for next 6 months if not longer.

Funny, I did my first interview with them a week ago.

You and I have different definitions of funny.

I am not a native English speaker. Here I used funny as a synonim for strange, which is probably a mistake due to me extracting most of my English knowledge from Hollywood films.

For a moment I thought you outed yourself as German, because a sentence like: “Komisch, ich hatte ein Interview mit ihnen letzte Woche.” works just fine. But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard. Also an explanation.

>But we German’s have no sense of humor so I’ve heard.

That's how Germans are perceived but having met Germans I know that's totally not the case.

Your use of funny was appropriate here.

Your use of sarcasm is spot on though

Meh ... From their announcement:

we will hire backfills to replace employees who move on to new opportunities, and there are some targeted places where we will continue to hire people incrementally

Yeah, I don’t think it’s doom and gloom.

But I also don’t think it’s prudent to say “don’t worry about that layoff, you’ll get a new BigTech job tomorrow!”

Times are weird.

As long as Amazon isn't stopping the usual Q4 hiring spikes in operations, Amazon should overall be fine.
