EDIT 1: for people calling me liar, I'm attaching 2 evidences. One is an email from disability and leave from Amazon and the second one is a x-ray from my leg, I got this email when I applied for my first unpaid leave, she is asking about documentation because I stayed in the hospital from February 3rd to February 16th, but they gave me a document with only February 16th on it. If you want to know more answers, read the first comments, I've answered everybody there. Remember I was only 7 months at Amazon when this shit started. I won't give my managers name because it's not to blame an individual but an entire company. EDIT 2: I already have a new job, I got this new job one month out of Amazon. In March 2021 I was feeling much better than when I got pipped in October, only 2 weeks after my last surgery. But I'm thinking of changing soon, I'm about to receive an offer from Facebook. EDIT 3: About Lawsuit, I already have a lawyer because I'm suing some shit related to my accident, things are slow here. I didn't want to talk to my lawyer about my situation there because I thought it was unfair but I didn't though it was illegal. I will talk to him about this. ---------- One more history on how Amazon is shit. I was a SDE at Amazon for 7 months and I was enjoying my work so far. But back in February 2020 I was in a car crash and I broke my leg in a bad way, I broke my shinbone and fibula in multiple parts and my ankle ligaments also broke, so I had to do surgery and now I am a cyborg with so much metal in my leg. One thing that let me sad was that my team had a happy hour scheduled for the day after my accident and they didn't rescheduled it because a member of the team almost died, so I was in a surgery table while they were drinking. For me it was hard to sit down after that, I could only lay down in bed with the leg over my body. My doctor recommended me to not sit down for long hours until August because I had risk of trombosis, but my manager wanted me to come back to work on may, so I did that. It was really hard for me because I was doing Phisiotherapy daily for 2 hours and working, and I felt lots of pain and could do almost nothing. My HR Business Partner even talked to me and said I should quit my job, but imagine, I was heavily dependent on the health insurance Amazon paid, how could I do that? In October I had to leave work again because I had to do another surgery 😔 I got back from this surgery and my manager announced that I was piped. I was so desperate because of the insurance (if I had to pay the hospital bills from my pocket I would be doomed) that I decided to go on with pip, but can you imagine that my manage was off to a vacation for a month from the start date of my PIP? 🙄 I worked as hard as I could but in January I received the news that my hard work wasn't enough. Really bad. I'm better now, I am walking again after months in wheelchir, I got the first job who gave me an insurance that let me go to the hospital I'm doing my threatment. But for the folks who love their work at Amazon as I did before, just don't break your leg.
Don’t just take the pip money and move on. Get an attorney. Sue the 💩 out of them. **Talk to the press. Get your senators when they come out of the Capitol Building. Contact your local anti-Amazon angry activist groups. Take your story to social media too.** Anything. F*ck their illegal NDA. Destroy their PR and HR. **: Seems people are hesitant, so don’t do these unless you consult some good attorneys. You can sue years after the incident and still win. (edit) This monster manager couldn’t even let you take a medical leave, even without pay (but with benefits)?! They should be exposed if all these are true. End this person’s career before more casualties accumulate under their “leadership” Don’t slam “OP should’ve known what they signed up for.” “There is always the other side of the story.” social Darwinism horsesh*t in my face. I hope all is well with you now. Hopefully you won’t suffer any long-term effects because you forced yourself back to work early.
If he does that dont you think he is digging his own grave. After that there is high chance that nobody will employ him. Is it not?
If you fear nobody would hire them soon there will be companies like this all over the country. The old and weak are doomed (even if you are just weak for a few weeks/months). Then everybody will be f*cked.
What a shit company..
Every company that operates in a capatalistic model is shit 🙃
Some have higher moral standards though
maybe you’re a douche?
Couldn’t you have gone on disability leave ?
It happened with my friend too. He got a fracture in leg and was pipped after few months. Before that, manager was talking about promotion and other shit and things changed after he broke his leg. His manager never told abt dev list before pipping him
My manager also never told me that I had a bad performance or something before I broke my leg 😔
I broke my ankle and i had to ride bus + walk about 6-7 blocks both ways to work on crutches for several months. You better believe I hobbled my ass in there on time every day as I had to keep up with savage long hour working peers
Yet Amazon wants to be the most employee centric company! Maybe they should start here.
Aren't they openly customer centric?
Bezos created a giant fuck house filled with a bunch of fuckers and left quitely.
Fucked up his seemingly decent ex wife and family life too.
Life is beautiful outside Amazon OP
Wow fuck Amazon seriously.
Agreed. His manager saw him as an easy target to fill the URA quota once his productivity dropped. It's clear that he has zero humanity but it's the company policies that enables and encourages the bad behavior. I'm sure there are better orgs and managers within Amazon. However, when a candidate signs on it's a crap shoot. Even if you are lucky enough to land on a good team managers move on and things change.
People looking surprised is what's surprising. Like you didn't realize what Amazon is, by now?
