I would be getting in to pivot program in next couple of days. I am working with amazon for 1 yr 2 months. Does any one know how much severance amazon would be offering ? I heard it is 3-6 months base pay. But not sure
What severance pay? You are being fired for low performance. Why would you think you are getting paid to leave?
Guys, quit being trolls. He’s asking a valid question. He’s in a tough life situation here. Dan54, first, Amazon will not ask to be repaid and second, they most likely will provide some type of severance even though they are not required by law. It will be between 1-3 months. This will also come with a non-disparagement agreement where you basically agree to not talk bad about the company. While I don’t know the details, I can sympathize with how difficult this time may be especially if you uprooted your life and moved you and your family to take this job.
I wouldnt suggest to take the severance package since they will almost be equal to no money. I would suggest, accept the pivot and tell your manager you want to work your way out of it. This will buy you 6 months of time. Use this 6 months to get paid your normal salary and start searching for a new job and interviewing. Best of luck.
How would you get six months? The PIP is like a one month process.
If you have a good relationship with management they tend to give you a heads up, in an clear message like I think you will be in pip soon. If your boss is trying to screw you like those who found joy in blocking transfer then tough shit. If you will be entering pip in a couple days it is too late for that.
Take the 3 months severance and get another job. Earn double salary for 3 months.
2 to 3 months, not 6.
It depends on a few factors apparently. I've heard 1.5-3 months
Once someone choses severance, how long until they are officially terminated? Until then, do they have to keep working?
How long ahead of time did you know that you were being pivoted? Was there a Dev plan first?
Yes. I had dev plan.
Per employment contract Amazon can go after ask for prorated amount of any sign on bonus/moving expenses
Does amazon really demands repayment of relocation expenses? Any one has info here ?
Iirc that's only if you're in your first year on the signing bonus. 2nd year is all yours for each month you last.
