Laying myself off from Amazon

I've seen a lot of red flags in my career where managers put people on PIPs -- when in reality it's not a PIP but a personality conflict.

And from what I understand at Amazon, it's kind of the same thing, but PIPs have been aggressively weaponized.

Christ, I wish PIPs were that easy where I work. Some days it feels like the public sector trying to get rid of employees that coast for months at a time before we can work our way through the process to can them.

Pips take months too, they're really not ideal

Isn’t that what a PIP is? A Personality Improvement Plan?

I seems to be used as an advance notice of termination?

The manager isn't required to improve their personality.
