So inspite my giving it the best my dick of a manager decided that I’m not meeting his bar for performance in my PIP. The deadline of the PIP is Monday. Does anyone know what comes next? Do I get a day or week to transition out and leave or am I packing up my stuff on Monday and be gone? Also does anyone know about health benefits? I have a baby on the way (in feb) and I’m going to ask that they keep my benefits alive till feb end.
Yes. As mentioned above, please clean out your desk now, after work hours. Forward yourself important emails, export some contacts you might need, phone numbers, etc. Maybe delete any personal emails. Keep a bag/box/backpack with you to take the few things you need every day, on your last day. Prepare a farewell message, to send to those contacts you exported, as managment's story of why you are leaving will be different from your own. It's disruptive to those remaining who will wonder what the real story is for several weeks. Also think of who might be able to write you a recommendation and ask for it within a few days of your departure - before people forget you and don't care as much.
^^^this Also, clean your desk and get all your belongings home over the weekend. You would need to concentrate on other things if that day comes. Also start applying everywhere and prepare for interviews. You will find a better oppurtunity soon.
^^^this too!
You can download the whl file and run pip using the local whl file
Jokes on you! Wrong PIP!
L O L pip install context
And please be careful while forwarding/copying emails and good not to touch any confidential material as everythings tracked by companies just in case you want to dispute their severance or termination contracts.
You can copy anything. Just make sure you don’t do anything to give Amazon grounds to sue. The lawyer will help you if you have a strong case. Make sure to talk to 2 or 3 different employment lawyers
Best option is sick leave
Maybe you can go on paternity leave now, and dare them to fire you once you’re on it
Really sorry to hear that. One of my friend in Amazon who got his 2nd baby got PiP as well because he couldn’t work like other crazy people (60-90hr/wk). Please keep us updated and good luck!
> “inspite my giving it the best” That was your first mistake. They never let you pass the PIP. What should you do? Clean out your desk, save any contacts, and start looking for a new job. Use Hired and Triplebyte.
Incorrect. There are people who have got past PIPs at Amazon
Sure, yeah. A small number. What is the percentage?

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Manager’s who put you on a PIP do not do so because they want your performance to improve but because they want you gone. If your manger decides that you are not meeting the bar for performance then expect to be fired on or before the end of the PIP. (You’ll likely be escorted out so make sure you take everything that belongs to you over the weekend from your desk) Usually they will give you benefits for about a month from the day of your firing and ask you to sign a Non Disparagement Agreement (NDA) stating that in return for getting a severance and not asking for any monies back (relocation, bonus) that you don’t sue them or disparage them. (It’s a dick move to ask you to sign in return for the severance and not asking you to repay any monies due) How long were you at the company and which group is this? Which location? (PM me the details and depending on your location I’ll give you contact info for a few lawyers) I recommend that you copy your entire mailbox, documents etc.. and keep notes of who did what and when. Don’t sign the NDA right away as you should call a few employment lawyers to see if they will take up your case. Very important is to find the company handbook outlining its policies and storing that in a safe place. Employment lawyers will ask for this. The company will give you two weeks to send in the signed NDA. That’s how much time you have to either sue them or sign the NDA and be done. If you decide to sue make sure that you sue in the jurisdiction mentioned in the NDA. Start your job search if you haven’t already done so and don’t use your manager or others who hold a dim view of you as references.
+1 IMO just quit before the deadline. You can then tell employers that you left on your own terms. BTW I know a junior engineer who was mismanaged, put on a PIP, fired, but now works for MS. The situation is completely recoverable.
Why would you quit? If it’s their fault, squat for as long as you can and take the severance
