"The Amazon layoffs are pretty ugly. People are finding out theyre gone in pieces: access half-working calendars erased before conversations happen leaders disappearing mid-day inboxes visible but locked work still paging after roles are dead This isnt performance-based. Profitable teams were hit. Top performers were hit. Entire management layers are gone while systems kept running like nothing changed. WTF Timing isnt random either: The cuts happened just before major vesting windows. Remote and non-hub workers were basically wiped out first. Some are being nudged into relocation choices."

"Innovation is a Dirty Word When you look at Snowflakes cost profile it is not unusual for a company of its scale but it is increasingly scrutinized. Sales and marketing remains the dominant expense. That is where operating leverage lives or dies. You do not meaningfully improve margins in enterprise software by trimming infrastructure or core engineering first. You do it by tightening the revenue machine. Its just math. And workforce data math has a way of overpowering narratives."
