"rich engineers don't like being laid off"
Plenty of people with no names in their resume who would take Amazon any day. Amazon has an unlimited supply of people willing to work for them just for having some kind of tech company on their resume.
No longer true, people are preferring to be unemployed rather than working at Amazon, the company has gone downhill to death.
Reddit is right. Anyone with at a no name company middle of nowhere will happily roll the dice with Amazon for $250k+ a year and move on after a year or two to something better
Yeah basically what happened to me, in my case they tortured the hell out of me, gaslit me to an extent that I quit. The "giving them no work at all" part is very true. I wish I was laid off or PIPed to get that severance, but they chose the zero cost route instead. They are all rotting in hell now and I'm enjoying my high TC and better WLB, away from the fear of layoffs.
People saying No on this poll have no clue. I personally know 3 people who are in this situation and its more than obvious what HR is doing, to the point that one manager admitted it and asked to look for jobs outside since βyou wonβt win this fight, HR wonβt let youβ. I also know managers who are appalled and absolutely helpless when HR dictates that an employee on their team needs to be put on focus and tries to dictate the focus plan.
Quiet firing is common practice in most companies
