Amazon tells bosses to conceal when employees are on performance management plan
> “Should I tell an employee that I entered them into Focus?” the question reads. The response: “Do not discuss Focus with employees. Instead, tell the employee that their performance is not meeting expectations, the specific areas where they need to improve, and offer feedback and support to help them improve.”<p>The headline is editorialized. IMO whether you’re told you’re in Focus or not is irrelevant. If your manager is telling you you’re not meeting expectations, that’s plenty of signal of what’s going on.<p>The discussion in this thread is written more as if Amazon is pushing out capable talent.<p>There’s a more fundamental question - are we saying once you get hired, your job should be permanent, regardless of your performance?
