Surprisingly enough, as toxic as Amazon is, after I got Amazoned and made my choice to “leave Amazon and get a nice severance” instead of “try to work through the PIP and still get fired and only get a third of the severance amount”, they let me stay for a week to finish up a customer project. I worked in Professional Services.

I told them that I really wanted to finish the work for a customer (large state organization) because I liked the customer. They let me stay for a week.

Of course that was bullshit, I took the time to have back channel communications with the customer to see if they would hire me as an independent consultant after I left and to start interviewing.

I’m sure they would have. But I gor a full time offer less than two weeks later.
