Amazon shut down a Slack channel where 2k employees talked about PIPs
Amazon had an “anonymous” internal Slack channel where you could discuss pay by using a bot to post on your behalf. It was called #pay-equity and there was another one called #pay-equity-discussion.<p>I’m surprised anyone is crazy enough to try to work through a pip. They give you the choice of trying to work through an impossible, subjective list of requirements or take a severance that’s one month severance for each year you worked there + the partial year or “leave Amazon”.<p>If you fail the PIP you only get 1&#x2F;3 of the amount.<p>If you appeal and lose you only get 1&#x2F;2 of the 1&#x2F;3.<p>Who would want to work there after they have already showed their true colors?<p>Amazon ain’t that serious to work for.<p>I worked there remotely knowing full well what Amazon was about from day one.  It was my 8th job.  I made my money, put it on my resume and gladly chose to “Leave Amazon” with a decent severance and had a job within three weeks.<p>People who choose to try to fight and stay after a PIP is like begging to stay in an abusive relationship.
