In the latest round of workforce reductions, Amazon has laid off approximately 14,000 corporate employees. Many affected individuals have taken to social media platforms like Reddit and LinkedIn to share their experiences, with a recurring theme being the receipt of a text message before the official layoff email. This SMS reportedly advised employees to check their personal or work emails, including the spam folder, for crucial information regarding their roles before commuting to the office. The 3 AM timestamp on these messages has understandably caused significant panic and distress among the workforce. One Reddit user described the experience as “nasty work” and highlighted the anxiety caused by the timing and the subsequent inability to access work emails due to system issues. Another employee shared on LinkedIn that the news arrived at 3 AM, marking the end of their three-year journey with Amazon, while expressing gratitude for the growth and learning opportunities. Social media reactions have been largely critical, with users calling the communication method “brutal,” “insensitive,” and “heartless.”
