Return to Office (Seattle, Washington)
Why is it that the 5G Engineering and Technology team gets to stay remote in Washington when the rest of us need to work in Philly? They don't even have an office to report to there. Is it because they have an AVP that is also privileged and gets to work from home in Washington?

Lay offs in Spokane and seattle
Just got laid off this morning with no warning, completely shut out of all systems. I was at an oncologist appointment when the termination meeting started. Myself and my team also training a new team outside of the US on how to do our job the last 2 weeks. Been at the company for many years and now I'm gone.
Amazon offshoring and use of H-1B/OPT visa programs
Amazon offshoring and use of the corrupt H-1B/OPT visa program destroys U.S. jobs. Amazon is not alone in this scam. They are, however, one of the top abusers. And, as Amazon opens new locations across the U.S., taxpayers foot the bill in the form of TIFs (Tax Increment Financing agreements) and other subsidies.

The chart (available in X posting) shows six roles at Amazon, all previously based in mid-to-high cost U.S. metros like Seattle, NYC, Phoenix, and Nashville.
Every one of them paid $145K–$165K in total comp. Today? These same functions are being filled in India, Costa Rica, and the Philippines… for as little as $28K to $40K.
The result? Cost savings of 71% to 78%. Per employee.
These aren’t theoretical roles. They’re pulled from:
Archived U.S. Amazon job listings
Live offshore postings on http://amazon.jobs
Verified salary data from http://Levels.fyi, Glassdoor, H1B/LCA filings
And internal comp benchmarks from Accenture and Cognizant vendor contracts
And here’s the twist: Many of these offshore hires are contractors, not full-time Amazon employees.
While digging into H-1B isn’t my thing, this should explain a bit more to those wondering why it is so hard to find a job. This isn’t new. But this is perhaps a snapshot explanation.
