- scarface_74 2y agoI agree completely. When I saw the writing on the wall for me at Amazon around May 2023 and a former coworker told me I would be crazy to quit then even if I did have another job lined up and miss out on a vesting period and I should wait for the “try to work through the PIP Or ‘leave immediately’ and get almost 4 months pay”. I played the game waiting for the PIP offer. For those who don’t know, once you get a PIP from Amazon you can try to work through it or take the severance offer immediately. If you fail the PIP (and you will) you get 1/3 of the original amount. If you appeal the failure and lose (you will) you get 1/3 of the 1/2.
- tarfacebaby 2y agoSo if I'm getting this right, the basis for your career advice essay comments ad nauseum is.. getting hired by Amazon and PIPed after a couple years? Fucking lol.
- scarface_74 2y agoNo my career advice is to focus on moving closer to the customer or stakeholders, don’t be a “ticket taker” and work on projects that show “scope”, “impact” and “dealing with ambiguity”, The other half is live below your means, invest and have a 9-12 month cash cushion. But everyone who works in BigTech knows that severance packages are nothing to sneeze at
