      Read about PIP, Focus, and Pivot, and you’ll see that their corporate centers aren’t much better.

      Imagine that every year, regardless of layoffs and people quitting, your employer tries to fire 5-10% of the entire corporate workforce. On top of this, as some people naturally manage to perform well when under pressure, imagine the number of threatened people doubling or even tripling. Now, imagine that every single year.

      It’s no wonder that some tech companies don’t like hiring people that used to work at Amazon, particularly managers.
