Im starting at amazon soon as a new grad. Already interned there. Ive heard horror stories of people being let go by first getting pip’ed. Any tips on how i can avoid being pip’ed? And is this something i really need to worry about? I’m really hoping for job security by working here. And please dont say leave before getting pipped as a response.
Accept the fact - u r disposable. Now get back to work & ship my box
You won't even know it.
First rule of PIP club... if you're worried about a PIP you're either a) already on one or b) about to be. On the first day of Xmas my manager gave to me... a PIP and a LOC.
But i havent even started. And i breezed through my internship
If you have to ask, you most probably will. If you are this risk adverse, why join Amazon?
Kneel before Zod
What's PIP and LOC?
You guys are horrible. I’m just trying to get advice from you as I begin my career. All I’m getting is a bunch of put downs.
Ask your boss what you should do to succeed in the first 3 months. It’s important to know your manager’s expectations.
Don't expect help. Don't expect nice. Don't expect fair. Thicken your skin. However, ask for help (shows you are interested, and some of us WILL help you, genuinely), be nice (some of us WILL be nice to you), be fair (some of us WILL be fair to you), and don't be a bully inspite of your thick skin. Of course, work hard. You'll be fine.
Focus on delivering results in initial months, this is most important from managers perspective.
The downside of anonymity...for real just crush everyone there and don’t worry about their feelings. It’s you or them at Amazon...according to 12 of my friends who work there, I don’t know firsthand
