Over 700 comments, and noone questions maybe there is a little more to this story. For example: * Yes, he "submitted" >50k lines of code. Most of it is auto-generated from infrastructure generation templates. * His teammates are submitting less lines of code because they're working on business logic * Amazon doesn't let you put people on performance improvement plans because they are trying to switch teams. What is happening in these situations is that someone is ALREADY on a performance improvement plan because of a problem (and it could be technical, or it could be personal or professional), is receiving feedback for improving, decides they are not interested in working on fixing these issues, and tries to switch teams. This is when they find out that Amazon (like most companies) doesn't want you to just run away from problems by moving internally, and that you are not allowed to transfer. Then they go run to Blind or Linkedin to talk about how their manager is trying to sabotage them or hit PIP quotas. Just saying. There's always more to stories like this.
