Got fired from Amazon.

My friend got fired from Amazon due to performance reasons. Can he reapply to Amazon after 5 years. Or is he banned to reapply.

Whats the point to reapply when got fired? Its better to move on and be happy, where he is treated worthy than have a baggage of being fired once if he ever comes back.

Reapply again, get offer and then decline it. Jokes aside. It is not a bad idea to reapply. He may not be the same person after 5 years. He shouldn't be judged based on his past.

I m not judging the person and in no way i meant he isnโ€™t capable. My point being why do you want to care to apply again when the company said you are fired.

URA (unregretted attrition) is permanent.

For now. We have no idea what the policy will be in 5 years, and whether itโ€™ll apply retroactively

True but I know someone who applied like ten years ago now and they still reach out like "I see you've interviewed with us before... Please try again?" So they definitely keep a pretty good record. I'd imagine that's especially true for actual employees given they keep that good a record of simply tech phone screens. Formal policy or not, I can't imagine they'd bother with a candidate who was fired when they allegedly have so much competition for positions and so many engineers dying to work there. Move on and don't look back seems about right.

Why would you want to go back to a place that fired you

Nice to see you help a brother or sister out. Even with though they mentioned poor performance ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

Launchdarkly ๐Ÿš€โšซ Feb 6, 2020

why would you offer a referral to someone who was fired? Sincere curiosity, does it mean nothing to your company if you refer totally shit engineers? Is it just a numbers game for the hiring bonus? I'd be very careful about who I referred because I'd feel some responsibility if they were hired... Granted my engineering team is much much much much smaller at a startup!

What a dumb question, honestly. Not surprised now...
