Is Amazon PIP culture really that bad? Read this!
Paytm has started a URA around 5% in 2019-2020 and onwards, put forward from senior HR leaders hired recently. Confirmed in Townhall by founder.
People were laid off during height of pandemic as they *fell* into lower end of bell curve. Some people I heard were laid off just because the management chain doesn't like them.
No one knew when the new firing system came.
Atleast, I think Amazon managers give signals to employees that they would be let go soon so they can prepare accordingly via some programs which I read here like Focus, PIP etc.
In Paytm, the situation was you were working (some on weekends) and the next day you got mail that you have been fired and all access revoked, just like that. All this during height of pandemic. Senior people were rewarded with ESOPs to the tune of several crores.
They later gave them 2 months severance, though, maybe after seeing other startups going over and above to reduce stress transferred to employees.
Yeah, I know that it can't beat the Uber firings in a 4 minute Zoom call.
Just wanted to know if Amazon fire culture is really that bad as portrayed here on Blind.
All the details are in public domain news websites. Curious souls can 🔍.
Not gonna share TC and YOE, as I don't feel it's relevant.
