Layoffs vs. terminationsThe spike in PIPs coincided with 27,000 layoffs that Amazon announced between November 2022 and March 2023.

When the performance-management process started, it was a big surprise for me because prior to that, my husband won a prize from Amazon. For about two months, he was working his regular job and then on this extra work. I would accept if this had happened to me because I complain a lot in my job, but he doesn't. My husband was a role model for our child in part because of Amazon. My husband has a lot of shirts with Amazon on them.

AdvertisementI have PTSDI was disgusted at what I was seeing with the Pivot process.
