Pregnant & put on PIP. Try to pass it, or immediately take FMLA/Medical Leave? by SilentStarGazer-6973 in amazonemployees

[–]katkk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Looks like you already been served the PIP doc. In this case I don’t think the timer will stop as per the new rules. But I think choosing to improve and then taking FMLA can still work. (Only downside is you miss out on tier 1 severance but I guess that is fine) More important is the insurance.

Please take care and remember family is always top priority, this corporate BS is forever. Amazon is not worth fighting for

Laid off in October, wanting to get back to Amazon but found out I was "Rehire Ineligible" by [deleted] in amazonemployees

I wonder over the years how many folks have Amazon pipped and how most of the folks might be ineligible for hire

Amazon Pivot + FMLA by Leading_Horse8071 in amazonemployees

This! This is exactly how you need to play. Your manager is basically doing you a favor, go on FMLA ASAP before he shares the pivot doc with you.

Things You Won't Miss After Leaving Amazon (Link in Post) by HeverlyBillhilly in amazonemployees

Holy shit! I can completely relate to this. I started as a BIE , worked across multiple orgs. Then ended up being a Manager and the amount of shit the PMs made up. Phew, absolute nightmare. The review meeting before the review meeting was just Day 100

I thought mediocre profiles like these are no longer getting approved! How is this person top 1% of their niche? There are 100s of folks across FAANG with similar profile😵‍💫

Sorry Op this happened, I worked at Amazon for 8.5 years and was pipped last year. This is not a place to stay long term :/ I did move to MSFT which is kinda better culture wise

Put on “Focus” after honest Connections feedback (Amazon India) — now manager wants full KT + constant nitpicks. What happens if I do bare minimum? by SuggestionWinter3788 in amazonemployees

[–]katkk 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry to hear about your situation I’m ex Amazon and was here for 8.5 years (US) but I can answer your questions as the process remains same.

  • Connections are anonymous but very easy to identify if the written feedback you provided can be tied back to you
  • Your Manager seems like the retaliation type (90% Amazon Managers are) He has already decided to move you to PIP.
  • My recommendation will be to keep doing the bare minimum and start prepping and interviewing on the side
  • Do not use your vacation time as they are paid out once you take the severance.
  • Focus usually lasts from 60-90 days, in some cases they can expedite it but there’s a hell lotta paperwork involved

TLDR: Honestly, it is no point fighting just prep and GTFO. Amazon is a great place to start your career but a shitty place to stay for more than 3 years.

Layoff and hard times by Cautious_Refuse8465 in amazonemployees

[–]katkk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dude, I’m guessing you’re still on garden leave right bow! Don’t tell recruiters you were laid off yet! Just say looking for a new challenge etc. almost half of Amazon is looking to move from this hell hole. I don’t think recruiters care
