Being a former employee of Amazon doesn't necessarily mean they're bad. They were still among the special people who have Amazon in their portfolios. It's really helping them to get a new job much easier than ordinary people.
Correct, if you get laid off from big companies, it means you have a very good skill.
The thing is, those ex Amazon workers don't want to apply for small company because they already have a high dignity and not willing to get paid low because they have high lifestyle. So, they're only looking for big companies like Amazon or bigger than Amazon, after keep waiting and they're getting rejected, they will blame the country and complain on social medias.
