Laid off in May. Took weeks to lay around feeling sorry for myself. Then Went traveling for 1 in . Life changing and brought life force back into me just as I was fading away.
Getting a new role can be a long grind especially if you are like me and suck and didn't stay on top of leetcode. I've been grinding 7 days a week but starting to lose life force again. Now I have a day of rest per week where I intentionally try not get do anything interview prep / job search related
The nightmare continues... but it will end soon as long as we keep waking up each day and working towards our goals Answer from losing it. on teamblind.com

There were rumors going around about the layoffs for a while now in the amazon channel but while I was sort of aware it was possibly coming, I had hoped they were just rumors on Blind. Unfortunately the day is here and the layoff rumors are true.

September 16, 2024 - Like , from moving data into a data warehouse to moving boxes in a real warehouse have seen many PMs , Analytics Managers move under EB1C from Amazon India. Only the word "MANAGER" needs to be there. For example if you are the CTO ,but an IC from India, then you need to wait 130 years for a green card. However, if you are a Warehouse Area Manager, then you get in 4 months in 2022 (As per USCIS)

I was laid off yesterday.
My leader said: “This has nothing to do with your performance. This decision was not made lightly.”
Yet its so hard to think it’s not based on my performance. They kept people who had less tenure and experience than me (but paid the same)
I asked 100x over my course of tenure there to give me more exposure, to include me in more meetings, to give me more context. From the start, I felt left out. I was set up to fail and not given the opportunity to grow. They often took credit for the things that I BUILT.
Live and learn I guess.

I don’t kiss ass either and thought that was the reason for my layoffs but tbh the reasoning could be anything so don’t stress out because it’s over and there’s nothing much you can do. Kiss ass or not, if they don’t want you then they’ll find any reason to get rid of you 😕 Move on and find better/greater things.

This happened to me - FIVE times since 2020. The prior 20 years i'd never even had a termination scare - protected my tenure and seriously devoted my 20's and 30's to career progression and industry respect. I spent my whole career looking out for future 40 year old me... Covid happened - i literally had no control over companies dying - and it's just me in the world so i had no choice either but to just survive. 5x in 3 years being let go for zero reason and that kind of explanation - juggling enough W2's for the government to be suspicious- no doctor i could depend on because that's 5 insurance policies to cancel and switch and wait to be eligible - 5 new company onboarding events - 5 new ERP systems - 5 new roles i'd never experienced - 5 new cultures to adapt to. Most importantly - five times in my career I felt like an absolute complete failure at life. Turned 40 in september ... and got laid off by government shutdown threats 1 week after turning 40. Not only a miserable worthless 40 year old but also - digesting that my past achievements meant nothing and i can't change anything more except to find opportunity 6! Well ... #6 came to me last month only because a niche skillset i learned at #3 caught a recruiter's eye ... if i didn't have the ERP experience from #4 i wouldn't have been qualified...and it was the CPO at #5 that provided the most stellar reference to set me apart. The job though - is actually a culmination of my first 20 years and it's a dream. However - if it weren't for something so specific that i learned in the 5 rodeos since 2020... I wouldn't have made it either. Wear your skillset and resiliency as a badge of honor... don't give up.
