Where have you been? It’s all over the place and discussed and dissected and all. Most of the posts are flagged and deleted by now bc of the manager’s name was exposed

Oh really did not see them actually, good to know

The guy being PIPed mentioned that he submitted 51k lines of code in a month. Am I reading that right? How is that possible?

Amazon pfu37d Feb 4, 2022

Unless the 51k lines of code was a text file...lol.

Microsoft heba OP Feb 4, 2022

Yeah looks like after he got some offer his manager decided to punish him lol

What a toxic culture. Any other places to avoid?

Is there anyone from Amazon confirm me about this guy’s current life. Wish his family safe.

I wish I can know as well

I don’t think it’s a smart move. He got rebuked right away: https://www.linkedin.com/posts/michaelryanjohnson_amazon-activity-6895571925733666816-U5q8

Well typical managers I don’t believe a manager will leave an employee for years and then he will suddenly remember he is not contributing enough
