Dev-plan experience

I would love to hear the experience of people who were put on dev-plan and managed to get rid off Amazon with a job offer and also could you answer If you continued performing in the sprints or you just focused on the job hunt? #severance #layoff #pip #amazon

Try to extend dev plan: Ask questions in writing. Show evidence you are working Focus on job hunt

This is bad advice. If they’re in FOCUS (Dev plan is out of date term) there is a set timeline for it to be executed. Although possible it’s improbable you’ll be successful in extending it. A manager doesn’t want to deal with it any longer than they have to.

Got put on a dev plan. Got it extended for 10 months. Used all 10 of those months to leetcode and find a new offer

It's been just ~4 months since I am at amazon. I think I am already on the dev plan. Does it get extended for people on probation period ?

4 months is too early. You’ll be fine for this OLR

What location and level? 4 months is brutally too early.
