The man I love hates me because Iām Vietnamese
I realize some of you may find this objectionable but this SDM has done so many awful things that he no longer deserves sympathy or decency. Plus Amazon SDMs knows the drill with feedback culture, I need him to know about his garbage performance to help him improve. So this trash human being was my manager for over a year until I finally switched teams before Amazon froze hiring and internal transfers last year. My previous team members told me that he got laid off and invited me out to celebrate with them over the weekend. EVERYONE showed up, it was the most fun work related gathering I've ever been to. I found this SDM's personal email on his linkedin and sent him an email with a pseudonymous email address. In this email I gave him some coaching and feedback. I told him that even though he was laid off, his performance was poor and he was not meeting the bar. I made a list of LPs (Leadership Principles) that he needed improvement on. I told him how worthless he was, etc. I honestly hope that he takes this feedback to heart so he can grow and improve. My only regret was that I could not give him a proper Performance Improvement Plan that is drawn out over weeks or months. This will have to do I guess š¤·āāļø Edit: alright folks, signing off now... probably not going to respond to any more comments. just enjoy the art my friends.
You should add this achievement to your resume.
Yes we can endorse it for you too
@OP, I will endorse you on LinkedIn for this
You canāt write all of this in this tone and then act like you actually care about this personās improvementā¦ You are just petty and pathetic
Not familiar with sarcasm eh?
Amazon has enough drama that it deserves its own reality show. š
A Netflix series about that would be great. š¤£
A prime series would be better. At least they'll make money off of their own misery.
So you sent an anonymous email to someone to run salt to their recent layoff. Your kids must be real proud of you!! You come across as a petty and small human.
That SDM probably pipped many of them for political reasons. Have zero sympathy
Thatās just OPās version of the story. Plus, OP was just petty and a coward here. I would have respected OP had he given that feedback upfront when they Changed their teams and moved away from that manager.
TC?
Kinda a low blow imo. You had a year to improve your relationship with your manager but you waited til after he was laid off?
+1 - Picked the worst time to give feedback
You sound like an asshole. And a coward too, why donāt you sign your name to it?
but you just said amazon way is sdm give feedback, and you're not sdm...
In poor taste. Donāt do that to someone who is just laid off. No matter how poorly they were performing. If you had done that while they were still at job, I wouldnāt mind. But to do that when they canāt even respond is in poor taste. You even created new email as you didnāt have the balls to give that feedback with your name although they are laid off just takes away any credibility
He could PIP me in retaliation if I gave him bad feedback while he still had power. But because I want him to improve I spent valuable time to give him feedback anyways. I'm just a sainted man I guess.
How could this person have PIP ed you without being your manager? The way you shared feedback does feel like a low blow and vindictive. I cannot imagine that will be a coachable moment for this person, being just laid off and then receiving an anonymous email. Life happens, try to forgive and forget. Taking high ground does take courage and empathy. Unfortunately, you did not show it this time, OP.
That's a lot of crap without TC bruh.
This post is pretty pathetic tbh, I would not like to know you IRL
SDM spotted
I wish š
