> Managers at Amazon are expected to put 5 to 10% on a PIP or manage them out every review cycle.

A slight correction: An organizational unit larger than a 2 pizza team -- think 50 engineers, is expected to cut 5-10%. A team within that unit may lose 0 engineers, which is how high performing teams that meet all their goals stay intact.

Fair. But every manager must be prepared to put one of their people forward, even if they ultimately don't have to in the session. The pressure is still there.
