Yesterday I received the pip document. Feeling very down. I gave everything during focus still couldn't get out of the focus. Couldn't tell my wife yet and don't how to do that ! I went through several post about pip and still asking , should I leave amazon with initial severance payment or take improve option? My pip plan is for five weeks , and I have some RSU vesting incoming in mid may. Is it possible to negotiate the pip plan beyond that time ? Feeling very frustrated and burned down, don't know what to do. Current role - AS Leave amazon payment - 36k Pip and then leave - 13k Year at amazon - just over 2 years #severance #layoff #pip
Leave and take the 36k. Take a vacation come back prepare and get a job. Live a healthy well balanced life. I’m sure your wife will support you :).
+1
+1 PIP sounds like they made up their mind already. Why taking $13K instead of $36K?
It is by design to setup for failure at this point. To have people put on pip right before vesting happens with absurd project goals. Sorry mate. Need time, seek FMLA and try finding roles out.
Yes it’s by design, there are no laws stopping employees from being laid off before bonus or vesting
Yep stop vesting and offer severance; making it look like they are treating employees fair.
They don’t care about you, why you care about them?
How is the severance pip payment calculated?
I reached out to hr about that, manager didn't know the formula
An update , hr told that they don't disclose the payment calculation equation.
Blessing in disguise. Even if you passed focus it would have stayed on your record, making it harder to transfer internally. Take FMLA/STD if you can.
Not true on the transfer part.
Transfer part is true. Hiring managers will ask for forte and they’ll talk to your current manager, so they’ll find out you had performance issues even if you passed focus.
What if op leaves mid pip
You need a break dude. Enjoy some time off with the family and take max severance. I’d get FMLA to get 3 months leave. You will do great in the future, don’t let this get you down. It’s not you it’s Amazon. How much time at Amazon?
Just over 2 years
How long have you been at Amazon?
Just over 2 years
SDE2?
I didn't know applied scientists get put on PIP. This is insane.
I mean if the value add is not there? No offense just doesn’t make sense
We are talking about serious people (PhDs) with proven track record of excelelnce. Why do you think they don't add value?

What is leave amazon Payment?
Severance. You can take it and leave or fight pip and if you don’t succeed you still get severance but lower.
Fight pip and if you don’t succeed, is it 13k. I suggest take severance. There is no point fighting pip. They will send you out anyway
