It's T minus 21 hours until layoffs at Amazon, I saw a bug in my coworker's CR and I approved it. The bug just got merged and if I get laid off, it will hit prod after I'm gone. For those of you that are unaware, Amazon have been laying off since November, a week or so before Thanksgiving. It is still going on now, our "leaders" have been edging for almost 3 months and the mother load of all layoffs are coming tomorrow.
