Manager told that I am not performing well and suddenly put me in PIP plan in 2 weeks after Forte. He has given a project which is still not even have design done. I need to deliver that in 30 days. I am L5 and I am on H1 visa. What is the best way to survive PIP as well as prepare for interview? Also what is the process for unemployment in H1B status. How long before i have to leave the country? Very panicked and confused. Any help is appreciated ! Edit: Got a new job! Thanks to Blind community, a lot of suggestions and referrals here really helped. Especially this suggestion - Asked HR to convert my severance to payroll days and that helped me a lot to have time to prepare and do my interviews in peace.

You can't survive it, just take severance and interview or stop working and interview.
except pip might buy you some time
What do you mean stop working, would they allow you to take vacation
Iโm starting to think the only approach to going into amazon solidly is getting on a project with a friend you trust. Then you know someone will be looking out for you and help on board you, instead of a team that fails to help you until you get piped out
That friend will probably end up backstabbing you and get you PIP ed . Because Leadership Principles and survival of fittest in the Amazon jungle .
What fucking Hunger Games shit is this? How can anyone work in an environment like this?
Focus on interviewing prep, apply using referrals. You get 60days on H1 to find another job. If possible negotiate with your manager, I have read folks negotiating with managers at Amazon that they will resign and leave in 2 months. This will give you 2months + 60 days to find a job
Once job offer is given how long does h1b transfer take? Will the new company do a transfer if Iโm on the 60 days period?
@asphodel if new employer will file in PP you will be all set. Otherwise just pay PP fees yourself. You only need receipt for switching so that way you are set. I will say focus on getting offer somewhere and just pretend working at amazon. Good luck and don't worry you will be at better place both emotionally and financially in next few weeks. Just grind and interview. May the force be with you my friend.
don't need to wait for transfer you can join on receipt
Assuming you have plenty time left on your i94/i797, then you have 60 days grace period after being terminated. If you can survive another 10 days at Amazon. You need to file your h1b transfer 70 days from today. This means you need to have your LCA approval from new company 60 days from now. Signing the offer 45 days from now. Finish the final interview 40 days from now. Finish the initial interview 25 days from now. Get contacted by HR 15 days from now. Use this numbers as deadlines. If you miss any, start to plan for existing the country.
Thanks for your helpful comments!
If you're not a TPM already, become one please.
How realistic is it that you can deliver the project?
I donโt think I can deliver in the timeframe specified. Design itself will take many iterations. But I have to Deliver with complete code and integration testing.
Find a new job asap. Reach out to your contacts and apply everywhere. Many startups or mid size company will entertain you so donโt waste precious time. You might take pay cut in next job but will be able to save your visa.
