My hm is such a homie. I'm leaving to pursue personal ventures after the new year and frankly am never coming back to Amazon. It's a great place to work, though not for everyone. I'm floating mid-performer (HV2) but asked to get put on Focus/pip so I can take severance before I go on vacation last month. HM said "ok bro". Took him a month to file the necessary stuff apparently. Feelsgood👍 thx uncle bezos Couldn't tell my coworkers but figured you blinders would enjoy this Tax: 175
We work in a strange strange industry.
You should see investment banking
Nah IB is more normal than the shit that goes on in this side of the world. I agree it's so strange.
How much is severance?
If I knew I'd tell ya, technically not at that point yet
Approx amount would serve the purpose.
Your manager's a keeper
Such irony
Your manager's a keeper pipper.
It's this a win-win because your manager had to pip someone anyway?
🍌 🔥
That’s exactly what I was thinking!
Happy for you
How did you know the HM would be ok with it?
Even if HM wasn’t ok with it, most likely would’ve resulted in a pip. Win-Win
What are they going to do if they aren't? PIP the OP?
Congrats… I guess? Unrelated but I know someone at amex who got a job offer and was laid off during background screening, he got like 5 month severance (at amex severance is posted and depends on band and tenure) + negotiated to get a prorated bonus and then started his new job with double salary for half a year… what a fucking legend.
Any referrals you’re open to for SDEs :)?
That was me when I got laid off from IBM, had like 4 months of double paychecks since I had another gig lined up quick
can i get your job?
You want to work at Amazon? Gross.
Sounds like a cool manager
Dope. Love it. Happy for you where you headed for vacay?
Ngl been eyeballing Costa Rica/somewhere near the equator for a while 👀
Dope enjoy it. You earned it. I can tell you play chess not checkers and that’s a rare yet important quality.
