High PIP rate at Amazon like companies
Hi What is the reason for high pip rate at some companies like Amazon, Tesla etc? Is it production outages? Some network companies have rule that if an engineer causes network outage then they fire the engineer. #amazon #tesla #meta #google #microsoft #faang
At least that’s what they say
It’s more just to consistently trim fat
Eat more === poop more (not comparing ppl who got pipped to poop, but you get the point)
because it's Day 1 baby 😎🍌
Because it doesn’t create bad press compared to layoffs. Most of those getting pipped get muzzled by NDA. Can’t talk shit publicly. And the company appears to look tough to Wallstreet as consistently “raising the bar”. Shareholders eat that up. Bonus point they get bragging price by saying shit like “we ArE AlWAys HIring” even during bad economy when in fact it’s just to backfill pipped positions. And the cycle continues. It’s all a big scam. Pip is the silent layoff.

> Is it production outages? At Amazon? Hell no. There is a strong culture of not blaming (or even naming) humans in our post mortem process. We assume people were trying as hard as they could, and the system still fucked up, so let’s fix the system so that doesn’t happen again
Production outages due to lack of tests are criticized heavily, not openly though. Seen someone get into focus with tests being one of the reasons.
The bar keeps going up
