amazon has Leadership Principles (corporate koolaid) that makes deadlines top-down and non-negotiable, otherwise you are deemed as not meeting a bar

What if the deadline is fundamentally impossible? No room for leeway here?

Then either the people given the deadline are being "managed out of the business" or they should be managing their own way out

And yes, I've been a manager in a company where the phrase "managed out of the business" was used. I no longer work there.

The term that is usually used in law is "constructive dismissal".

Management would tell you it certainly wasn’t constructive dismissal as that’s illegal! ;)

Yet you still won't get those unemployment checks if you were a new hire.

At one company I worked for, they fired the product manager, then fired all of them.

That’s why I never touch a new Amazon service for 12 months.
