> In my opinion, this process is not designed to improve the employee. Sorry, but no shit. The boss wanted her husband gone. Period, full stop. Look, no matter how charismatic/great/competent you are, there's always going to be someone that doesn't like you. The article gives no history or indication about how long her husband had worked for his boss or their relationship prior. Maybe the boss is a psychopath, just came in and decided he didn't like the husband and wanted him out. Maybe it's a genuine personality conflict. Being put on a PIP is the way to do that. Is it fair? Is it good for the company? Of course not, but this is Amazon we're talking about. There are plenty of people lined up as replacements. Soft skills matter. If you can't please you're boss, if you're not aligned, you need to sense that and start looking for other options. Sometimes, though you'll still get blindsided.
