Which big tech companies fire mediocre employees?
I work for Google. You should be horrible in order to get fired. As long as you are mediocre - You have job security (Googlers, correct me if i'm wrong). It's not an optimal strategy, but it's convenient for me as an employee. Is it the same for other big tech as well? How is it in FB, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple? What about Chinese companies such as Tencent and Bytedance? What do you think is the philosophy behind it? #google #facebook #amazon #bytedance #tencent
hard to survive for those mediocres who are aslo slackers..
They better not be using Slack
Ba da dum.. tsshhh..
I heard It is hard to get fired at Amazon
bahut hard
@salesforce arre bhai sab bharatvaasi nhi hain yaha par..😂😂
Bloomberg. You can even be terrible, and do almost nothing and you won't get fired.
I heard this too
How does this make sense ?
Doesnt happen in FB. If you're not trending to meet the bar, you'll be out within 1-2 halves. It depends on how bad your performance is
Btw, I dont find keeping mediocre people a benefit to employees. Yes, it benefits people that want to slack or that would otherwise be slacking, but strong performers suffer. People dont generally enjoy working on teams where colleagues are not really putting an effort
Have some empathy. You never know of the person is dealing with something in his personal life. It would be terrible if that were the case and you loose job too.
Same at Microsoft, you have to be consistently horrible to get fired or do something really stupid
Netflix
Won’t fly at Netflix. You’ll be gone within a couple months.
Seriously, how can they judge you in a couple of months? Especially with the complexity of Netflix. Of course if you're not putting out any PRs sure but how would you measure mediocrity in that time?
Netflix only hires very experienced people. They should be able to ramp up quickly and be contributing a good amount in a few months
Doesn't happen at Salesforce.
It does in sales and marketing
Adobe is best place to rest n vest! Teams work < 25 hr/wk
Amazing!
What is Adobe's WFH policy post-COVID?
But it is harder to get in. So the interview process should filter out mediocres
Smart does not mean work hard everyday
The interview process cant really predict if you'll be a terrible employee... (or a mediocre employee). It's also not harder than all these other companies (at least not substantially higher to an extent that will clear out mediocrity). Even in the places with a lower bar, you are required to be very smart
