My Wife Was Dying of Brain Cancer. My Boss at Amazon Told Me to Perform or Quit
OK, though I have posted on blind, I thought I would post here so there wouldn't be a lot of guessing.  The article is about me, I use the name suWU43 in blind I posted several responses there.Here is the link for those that are interestedhttps://www.teamblind.com/post/%F0%9F%94%A5Amazon-pipd-while...The timeline many of you have guessed is off, I didn't want to comment on the exact timeline as I went back to work a few months back and I worry about retaliation from Amazon.  Several of my friends have reached out that had no idea how bad it was.  In the article I stated that of course I could have done better but my performance wasn't zero more like 90%, is that enough when you spouse had a terminal disease? Plus I was clear about it before I started.My performance came into question after I talked to HR, coincidence?  There are many instances at Amazon, documented, where an employee is pushed out when they are having personal issues.  This push from my manager put me in a spiral that I am just overcoming.My daughters and I are working to find happiness again and unfortunately the cover of the internet lets everyone say whatever they want.  I just hope anyone reading this never lives what I did.  Watching this amazing woman that you loved so much slowly lose the light in her eyes.  Watching her for eight days hoping she finds peace and then praying for one more day with her.  Seeing her crossover with her last breathe.  I don't know about you, but 100% seems impossible.
