AMAZON DOING SILENT LAYOFFS RIGHT NOW 🚨
No CEO memo. No press release. No WARN Act filing. Just employees showing up on Reddit saying their roles were eliminated. A lot of them.
This is exactly what @PlumbNick predicted in October 2025. Amazon announced 30,000 cuts. Backlash was massive. They walked it back to 14,000. Still too loud.
His words: "I'd A/B test the message and fine-tune the balance all the way down until Americans have nothing left."
Now in May 2026, they seem to have found the formula. Say nothing. Eliminate roles quietly. Keep each site under 100 cuts so WARN Act never triggers. No filing means no public record. No record means no headline.
Do we know 100% they are doing this? No, and that is the point. The WARN Act requires 60-day notice for mass layoffs. But if you stagger the cuts, spread them across sites, and never use the word "layoff," you never technically trigger it.
Is it legal? The law says deliberate structuring to avoid thresholds is a violation. But enforcement is through private lawsuits, and the penalty is 60 days back pay. For Amazon, that's a rounding error.
Meanwhile, they are the #1 abuser of H-1B in the entire country since 2017.
Ever wonder what birds are making the sounds you hear when you step outside in the morning?
Well wonder no more.
I think I have every one of these birds in our trees!😂
Be honest, do you ever whistle back to them?
(A really cute girl is at my till buying coffee, completely locked in on her phone, typing away 😭)
Cute girl: still looking down “One Caramel Frap, small please. Thanks.”
Me: “Yeah sure, coming right up!”
(I make her drink, come back to the counter and place it down)
Me: “Here you go, ma’am. That’ll be $4.05.”
(She pays me with a $5 bill and finally looks up)
She freezes.
Like… proper freezes 😭 eyes wide, mouth slightly open, just staring at me
I’m suddenly nervous for no reason
this goes on for like 10 awkward seconds before she blinks fast like she just rebooted
Cute girl: “uhh… yeah… ok… I… I… um… one sec”
takes deep breath
“has this ever happened to you before?”
Me: “uhh… I don’t think I follow”
Cute girl: “this!” she points between me and her like I’m supposed to understand
Me: “I’m still lost honestly…”
Cute girl: “you know… a girl sees your face and just freezes?? like fully glitches?? and it’s obvious she’s attracted??”
(now the whole café starts listening 😭 people slowing down, pretending not to stare)
someone literally goes “awww”
I just go: “uh… not really”
She suddenly snatches the $5 back from me 😭
then pulls out a $100 bill and drops it on the counter
Cute girl: “ok listen. I’m gonna walk out like I forgot my change… if you follow me out to return it, it means you want my number and dinner this week. if you don’t, just put it in the tip jar.”
then she just walks out like nothing happened
dead silence in the café
Customer behind me: “bro GO 😭😭”
Coworker: “that’s literally your wife don’t mess this up”
even my manager is just standing there like 🧍🏽♂️ “don’t be stupid”
I grab her change, shake a little, and write my number on a receipt paper
I go outside
Me: “uhh… your change. and… my number.”
She smiles.
like actually smiles 😭
Cute girl: “good choice”
and just walks off
I go back inside and the whole café erupts 😭 clapping, screaming, someone yelling “SHE WON”
my manager just goes: “free espresso shots for everybody. don’t talk to me for the next hour.”
Pam Luongo bought six plastic flamingos at a garage sale in March 2019. She stuck them along her front walkway in Beaufort, South Carolina, and forgot about them. By September, seventeen real flamingos were standing in her yard. Wildlife officials couldn't explain it. Caribbean flamingos hadn't nested that far north in recorded history. A biologist from Clemson set up cameras. The birds were landing at dusk, tucking their heads, and sleeping between the plastic ones like they'd found family. Pam started leaving out shallow pans of brine shrimp. By 2021, the flock hit forty-three. The Audubon Society designated her quarter-acre lot a protected habitat. She still mows around them.
