Hello everyone, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice regarding my current situation at Amazon Web Services (AWS). I've been placed on the Focus/PIVOT program and my pivot meeting is scheduled soon. From what I've gathered online, I'm facing either a 1-month Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) or opting for a 3-month severance package. However, I have stock that is set to vest in a couple of months, which I stand to lose if I leave before that date. Given the circumstances, I am considering applying for medical leave. I would deeply appreciate if anyone here could share insights or their experiences with Amazon's medical leave process, particularly: How to initiate the process effectively? What documentation will I need to provide? How the medical leave might impact the Focus/PIVOT program timeline? Any potential implications for stock vesting while on medical leave? Any guidance or suggestions you could provide would be immensely helpful. Thank you in advance! #tech #layoffs #severance

How long have you been in focus, I’m already 1 week in not doing shit and plan is suppose to last 4 weeks. Should I assume that I’ll get pivot in 3 weeks or assume they’ll extend it?
I was put on focus and goals seems to change/become more difficult each time I connect with my manager. I’m just going to miss Monday call to avoid the painful process and let them rip the bandaid. (Oh is this not in the correct amazon writing style) f u amazun

1. Stock vest will continue and do not stop until 180 days. 2. You could use MyHR tool, in DLS select option for loa. You would need a certificate from doctor as to why you are taking a medical leave. The leave will pause the pivot and it would resume once you are back. You can take it now and once you return, take the decision of immediately leave / 1 month improvement.
Thank you so much for the in depth instructions.
