I hope you keep your job
Comment on Amazon’s Twitch to Cut 500 Employees, About 35% of Staff
EnderMB@lemmy.world 5 months agoHave you got a source on that?
I’d be shocked if this were the case, since internal rates at pretty much any tech company (source: I work there) are anything from 50-99% reduced.

It’s not internal information. It’s pretty much common knowledge across tech that companies arrange a rate card with their provider. In the instance of Twitch, even though they’re mostly a separate entity to the rest of Amazon, they’ll almost definitely have a rate card set for AWS resources.

I think they meant because 500 people who also work there are losing their jobs.

Ah, my bad, thanks! To be honest, there is so much fear of layoffs at Amazon that most people are either totally numb to it, or are constantly just waiting for their turn/an opportunity to leave.

I heard from a bigger streamer. But I started believing it because feeds degrade lot more than YT. I constantly get connection issues more than any other streaming service.
I’m vested in some of these smaller streamers, so I don’t want them to lose their income. It feels like twitch is exploiting this sentiment because I’m not alone.
