Already have an external offer and just want to make sure that whatever Amazon provides for the background check (when the new company asks) doesn't show anything negative as I'm PIPed. I know people say Amazon only writes join and termination dates, but I want to make sure that's all (like they don't write not eligible to rehire, etc.). How can I make sure about that before leaving? P.S. I tried to find any documentation on the inside.amazon, but couldn't find any. I heard people (in other threads) saying there's a document I need to sign to ensure that, but couldn't find any. My manager obviously doesn't tell me anything. Please answer only if you have documentation about it or been there. I'm not looking for "I think..." type of answers. Thanks.
Leave before you get terminated.
TC or GTFO
You're worried about something that doesn't happen. PIP and "not eligible for rehire" are visible only within your company if you interview with them again in the future. Legal departments prevent companies from reporting anything more than the confirmation of employment dates and your last title. You're at a greater risk of unethical people soliciting feedback from your former co-workers through their own networks without your consent or knowledge.
Then give that reference man
What reference? Give it to who? The new company hasn't asked for a reference yet. I can definitely give if they ask, but my point of this post is to understand how to verify what they write in the background check
Why not take something in writing before you leave or get it put on linked in ? Don’t wait for them to ask.
Amazon only discloses employment dates. If you're not sure, then you could pose as a reference checker and ask about yourself.
Amazon will only confirm the dates you worked there and the role. They do this through a 3rd party. No information about how you performed.
Do you have any documentation about it? I need documentation (or people who have been there) to make sure that's the case. Many people in previous threads said Amazon will write "not eligible to rehire". I want to validate that.
It's somewhere, check 'inside'. Maybe search "reference letter"? The policy is that officially Amazon will only give those things I mentioned.
