Well, this can't get worse than this for me.

Was told im on PIP. Have a month to prove my self.
Which I think is already decided.
And this happened when so much uncertainty in the market. Companies already laying off. Most of them already freezed openings. On top of that im on H1B.
I can afford to lose job but not my status. Got that scary tweet from Mr. President yesterday.
And i am in Amazon for less than 10 months, as of today.
I just cant believe this.

Where do I go from here?

    Yes it can. You are healthy and typing a post on blind. Be grateful for that. The rest is nuisance.

    Ask for more time to prove yourself. State 1) you are stressed out my covid 2) the immigration ban means you have no non Amazon options and 3) the team is not the right fit and you’ll need time to find a new role. With that ask for at least 3 months (and start looking elsewhere in the meantime)

    • There is no URA quota. No company hires people with the intention of firing them. Hiring and firing is EXPENSIVE.

      It’s possible they hired for URA, but that’s fairly rare. It’s more likely OP didn’t meet SDE2 bar.

      And to add on to what Bww said, amazon definitely doesn’t hire H1B to URA fire.

      I’m sure OP knows the reason.
