Pretty much an accurate description of what can or most likely will happen if you are below bar or get placed in Pivot. They forgot to mention that once you are in Pivot, you are pretty much barred from “boomerang” or returning to Amazon. I was a L6 Manager in AWS and this was pretty detailed. I left before all the layoffs started in 2022. Any opinions on accuracy? I believe there is still a 10% attrition goal? https://www.businessinsider.com/amazon-performance-plan-pivot-aws-worker-lost-deposit-on-house-2023-10?utm_source=linkedin&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=insider-headline-graphic

What do you think is wrong with a kid who got rejected by 9 colleges?
I was on Focus once, which is not a PIP but maybe one step before. My manager didn’t agree with me being there but said the director just decided it with bs arguments, you know, the quota. My manager and skip also didn’t agree with. My manager and my skip helped me to get out of it, both of them were on my side and with me all along, which I appreciated immensely. I got out Focus and eventually left Amazon. Amazon’s culture works like that. It’s not about performance. It’s about somebody’s decision behind closed doors. I’m not saying there are times where performance is not met, but more often than not, is just politics. I wonder how long it’ll go like that at Amazon. I was at Google later in my career and they shifted to this approach as well. I think they are just companies bloated with employees and they just trim people off. At the discretion of managers. That’s when it becomes hell.
Agreed- they use data to justify their political agenda. Especially during calibration.
I’m waiting for the bootlickers to come here and defend Amazon
