Performance-improvements plans have pushed some Amazon workers to a little-known Slack channel

https://www.businessinsider.com/amazons-slack-channel-for-workers-on-performance-improvement-plans-2023-4 "Logging on to the channel, quite frankly, it broke my heart," she said. "People were freaking out; I could sense their distress. To see that this is how the company is treating good employees — all to meet an attrition target — disgusted me." That's so Amazon. Never, ever would work for this company. #amazon

If you believe any company will treat you any better, the joke is on you. Amazon may to the worst offender, but given a chance to f**k you for a few extra pennies, pretty every company will do exactly that.

Yes, Google and a host of other companies will treat me better than Amazon. Is that hard to understand?

Very glass half way to look at it. I wouldn’t trust anyone.

Did we expect anything else from this garbage company? Anyone who’s been here a while knows how terrible of a company Amazon is to its workers, and no amount of TC in the world should make anyone willingly put up with this nonsense. Now cue the inevitable replies of people saying that my opinion isn’t valuable because of TC or because I couldn’t get into Amazon or because I all I do is talk bad about the company or whatever reason people have to justifying this company’s awful worker practices. TC: 90K, never worked at Amazon and never will

So much this.

They're idiots if they say that. ANYONE can get into Amazon. Many of us just don't want to smell butt holes.

I'd not join Amazon if Jupiter himself commands me.

Shouldn't anyone who joins Amazon already know how shitty a company it is? What's the surprise here. You sold your soul to the devil for whatever reason, a job, visa, etc.

Not everyone is on blind and that innate human ability to think “it’s not going to be me”. That’s not how math works. Eventually you will find yourself in that 6%.
