Folks read "mass 16k layoffs at amazon" and may think it's not great, but I don't think they realize how deeply it can, will, and is impacting stability of services they may be rely on.

Rushed mass layoffs like this have lead to stories emerging of on-call staff having accounts locked on them as layoff notices arrive early 6am in the morning as they are mid response to pageable sev2 events, leaving the event on going and unaddressed, and the rest of the team asleep while there is no oncall coverage for that and future events till the team wakes up and starts triaging that their on-call was axed in the early morning with no notice.
