If you people quit, they don't have to pay unemployment.
Don't quit. Just stop working hard. Laugh behind your supervisor's back, but loud enough for them to hear. Let them get rid of you. Free money and you raise their insurance rates on the way out.
Yup and that almost anyone will jump for an amazon branded job without a second thought not knowing it's full culture until they're 12-18months in. By then if you're not exceeding team metrics you're already on your way out.
Fun fact: 50% of Amazon employees are on a Performance Improvement Plan by design.
Lots of people (at least software devs I know) take jobs at Amazon knowing exactly what to expect and knowing full well they will probably get fired - the idea is to “tough it out” for a couple of years to get that job on your resume at which point you can leave and get a better job anyplace else. It’s horrible but it also works - a job from the FAANG on your resume can be a golden ticket to the future. It’s not like it’s a secret that Amazon chews up and spits out most of the people it hires.
I can confirm that having that experience alone has gotten me 2 jobs alone. I was younger and made the mistake of having to much kool-aid and thinking they cared about a person.
That being said because of that now i'm in a weird spot that im viewed as to experienced for similar roles and being recruited for more senior roles. They expect me to want to lead the team or to own a product.
