I’d be interested in hearing about this as well. Thank you for asking the question.
I’m following this!
Very team dependent. My team within ProServe doesn’t have any PIP culture
Depends on the team. Doesn’t exist in my org. You can be horrible and you won’t lose your job. Granted you won’t be promoted but you can collect a check doing the bare minimum have teammates that have done it for two years.
Which org within Amazon is this?
Every team I’ve been on (6) has URA (unregretted attrition) goals each year to meet and uses PIP
From my experience, 90% of those PIP’d I agreed with. But I saw a lot of other stuff with rankings that I did not agree with - way too subjective and gender biased. All only speaking from my personal experience across 6 separate teams
Evey team (at the or level) has goals on unregistered attrition each year. Most teams are able to meet it with normal turn over or perform management throughout the year. We are not supposed to stack rank employees; we are supposed to evaluate ever peron on their individual performance. But it's really hard not to stack rank people when you have goal around a certain % being at the bottom performance bar.
I wish I could say that I've never seem a Manger forcing someone into focus who they didn't agree should be there but it happens. It's a mechanism amazon uses to increase the performance bar year over year
I forgot to respond to the "make it to another team" part... once someone is no longer in focus or on a PIP, they can transfer to another team. Because of that history bias I mentioned above, I would definitely recommend transfer. It's hard for individuals and/or their managers to break the bias that focus and PIP have
