For those on PIP who are eventually let go, how long does it take from the day PIP is signed? I know PIPs usually go 30,60,90 days - but what’s the typical “survival time”? Assuming it takes at least 60 days till final termination, I fail to see how 2 months severance is a better deal (aside from having some free paid time).
From someone who has had to put multiple people on both, I’m telling you to take the severance. You will get more money and either way, if you fail the PIP which is about an 80% chance based on data you won’t be eligible for rehire in either case. Take the money, take that extra time to go find a better role somewhere else.
Why does Amazon seem to have a high rate of PIP'ing (and eventually getting rid of) people? Is it just because of aggressive hiring, especially with new grads?
I don’t know if it does or if it’s just that we have so many people that work there so it seems like a lot more. I do know out average tenure is around 2 years but that mostly has to do with the comp structure and difficulty of work
Very rare that this happens. In my experience PIPs end up stressing people out so much they perform worse than before they get put on it.
