After layoffs, cyber is hiring over 47 positions mostly managers

Avoid middle-layer vendors, as they often lead to unnecessary hiring. Direct hiring from VZ to the employer is a better strategy and helps reduce the risk of layoffs.

I just don’t see why I should be supportive of a foreigner taking the place of an American candidate that is equally or more qualified, speaks the language, and won’t result in brain drain after a few years. These entitled early career applicants are students with no experience other than symbolic “internships” where they were told they are the center of the universe. We pay them a premium but they are worse than AI. At least AI can follow directions.

• U.S. employers announced 108,435 layoffs for the month, up 118% from the same period a year ago and 205% from December 2025. The total marked the highest for any January since 2009.
• At the same time, companies announced just 5,306 new hires, also the lowest January since 2009, which is when Challenger, Gray & Christmas began tracking such data.
• Also, job openings fell sharply in December to 6.54 million, to their lowest since September 2020. Available jobs are down by more than 900,000 just since October.

I keep hearing that O&I will be getting more work done by outsourcing companies which likely means less hiring. Does that mean more layoffs?
Anyone has any information?

This is incredibly strange and makes you wonder who manages GT and how.

New hires. New changes. What are your thoughts?

Do associate levels get bonus? How about senior associate? Finance

Washington state hiring managers are all corrupt. The majority of Washington state jobs that are announced first get offered to current "well connected" state employee's family members and close friends. You may be contacted and asked to do an interview, in which you think you got a chance at the job, but you don't. You are really being used as a suc_ker to meet the minimum number of interviews the State hiring manager is required to do. It's still a waste of your time unless you are connected, because the Washington state hiring managers have already chosen a family member or close friend and quietly offered the job to them before they even contact you asking you do an interview. So, consider all Washington state jobs posted as a sham and don't waste your time applying.

The hiring managers team is going through a reorganization, will be the headcount for the role I applied still available in your experience? Completed the final interview a while ago. The recruiter mentioned that they are still waiting for the decision.

Looking to apply for a few positions

Looks like big hiring going on in Data Protection and Data Resiliency. Looks like they're beefing up that area...even after the laid off many people. See posting on LinkedIn.

I want to let you know that we're making additional organizational changes across Amazon that will impact some of our teammates. I recognize this is difficult news, which is why I’m sharing what’s happening and why.
As I shared in October, we've been working to strengthen our organization by reducing layers, increasing ownership, and removing bureaucracy. While many teams finalized their organizational changes in October, other teams did not complete that work until now.
The reductions we are making today will impact approximately 16,000 roles across Amazon, and we're again working hard to support everyone whose role is impacted. That starts with offering most US-based employees 90 days to look for a new role internally (timing will vary internationally based on local and country level requirements). Then, for teammates who are unable to find a new role at Amazon or who choose not to look for one, we'll provide transition support including severance pay, outplacement services, health insurance benefits (as applicable), and more.
While we’re making these changes, we’ll also continue hiring and investing in strategic areas and functions that are critical to our future. We’re still in the early stages of building every one of our businesses and there’s significant opportunity ahead.
Some of you might ask if this is the beginning of a new rhythm – where we announce broad reductions every few months. That’s not our plan. But just as we always have, every team will continue to evaluate the ownership, speed, and capacity to invent for customers, and make adjustments as appropriate. That’s never been more important than it is today in a world that’s changing faster than ever.
I'm grateful for how our teams continue to deliver – for customers, for each other, and for the incredible things we're building together.
Thank you,
Beth

Looks like amazon is hiring in different teams. Is it a good decision to join team now .

Did anyone see the newsletter yesterday? Out of 60+ New hires, only 7 are not Indian? This is ridiculous already. The majority of those hired are in India and the ones in the US are mostly Indian. Do we really not have enough American workers to fill these jobs?

What do we think is going to happen with existing HBAs? For instance, I heard over 50% of the home office are HBA. I think it would be incredibly difficult to bring everyone back and hire the needed talent primarily out of St. Louis and Tempe. But I’m wondering what your guys thoughts are?

I was laid off from T-Mobile last week and am looking for a new job. What types of positions are currently open at AT&T?

Thought they were getting a rid of these roles like associate coaches with all the layoffs, just to start posting them again?

An walmart director posted like this in LinkedIn. Charging our culture.

If you know anyone impacted by the recent Amazon layoffs, my team at Walmart in Bentonville is hiring software engineers.

I’m an ex-Amazonian (AWS) and made the move a few years ago. We’re working on large-scale problems—platforms, AI, cloud architecture, and modernization efforts.

Questions? Reach out to our recruiter DM me directly.

are any orgs hiring for remote or hybrid? Curious if there were a select few people could name

Quick observations from colleagues across Fidelity sites:

Heavy reliance on personal networks for hiring (often relatives/friends from India via H-1B/transfers) → opportunities stay within tight groups.
Frequent non-English communication (Hindi, Telugu, Tamil) in teams → harder for others to participate fully.
Some regional cliques/tensions (North vs. South Indian) → minor friction in team dynamics.
Manager concentration in NC (Raleigh-Durham) and Boston → Westlake (TX) employees feel work gets less recognition, with favoritism toward co-located East teams (“out of sight, out of mind”).
A few ex-Infosys/TCS folks bring limited knowledge-sharing habits → siloed work, reduced collaboration, and poorer team culture in affected groups.

Anyone seeing similar patterns in Westlake, NC, Boston, or elsewhere? Share anonymously below—helps gauge if it's widespread or team-specific.

Rao and his PE buddies found a business model that brings in revenue without expenses!!

Arizona's economy is currently growing at a slower-than-usual pace. Job growth remains modest, and housing permit activity has declined this year. Phoenix consumer price inflation has significantly moderated below the national average. Economic growth for Arizona is forecast to accelerate in the coming year. Job and income growth are projected to increase, though housing permits may still decline.

I’m hearing for the new orange contract for mobility they are going to continue permanent WORK FROM HOME for those employees under orange contract. Then they will hire near end of year for WFH. Anyone heard of possible outcome for the Orange contract ?

Lots of hiring ongoing & coming up. Large portfolio of projects in 2026

Companies layoff and Hire. It’s renewables.

Was a great 2025 for AES, bonuses are high again like every year. What a great time to be a part of a great company.

I’m a external candidate wondering if they have started rehiring

Verizon downfall can be easily summed up. Cant post work emails here but 90% of these foreign born directors (guess what country?) cannot spell basic first grade words right. Do they forget that VZ has gemini built into google workspace for a few years now??? Its as simple as hitting autocorrect. Who is hiring these lazy directors.

End H1Bs now!

Three team members left months ago with no replacement in sight. Their responsibilities have been distributed among the rest of us, and it seems leadership views this as a permanent solution. Is there anything we can do to force them to hire some people, because we're close to our breaking point?

There is tons of hiring happening in CVS.
You guessed it right, all Indians on visas!!
And they’re pushing their people up the ladder too..fun, fun…

Employees in Charlotte will focus on emerging cyber threats, designing defenses using AI and serving as part of AT&T Dynamic Defense, a network-based security service designed to detect and stop threats before they impact a business.
New office to be located approximately 1 mile from the Charlotte NRC.
And yes, RTO will be in full effect

I just had an interview!! The job itself is remote and out of the hundreds of applicants, they chose my resume because they saw Wells Fargo on it. So just FYI, Wells Fargo still carries some power in the hiring world. 💅✅

Like surely the company wouldn't allow us to hire someone, and then immediately tell us we need to lay people off... right?

Okay, I’ve about had it with these “tech consultants” in NAM. Has anyone actually met one that actually understands the tech they are supposed to support? They all seem to lack basic knowledge and understanding. Can we just hire our own people yet?

Is hiring for roles at the corporate office on some sort of a freeze? I was supposed to be a finalist for a position but am now being told the process is being paused. Any insight is greatly appreciated
