Employed to be Fired? Being Targeted for Termination through a PIP

Business Outlook

Pros

I was placed in a Performance Improvement Plan (PIP) without any prior focus on areas for improvement, which strongly suggests that the company had ulterior motives of laying off new hires within a year. The issues that my manager raised during this process lacked substance and did not provide constructive feedback for my growth. Additionally, it seems that the toxic work culture of Amazon is infiltrating Audible, and this is concerning for the well-being and productivity of employees.

Cons

Attractive pay Free food free parking

Pros

Quick, independent learning? Fast paced not bored

Cons

Seemed like a startup without the leadership wisdom, direction, and team respect that was needed. With that, naively, could have bypassed how much the work will ring you DRY. As smart as you are, as hard working, expect no sense of communion or joy in your job. As well as a continuous, ambiguous blackbox what you’re working toward. Have experienced enough companies, can say this place was the WORST and still haunts me to this day. The people were plain rude. Many have chips on their shoulder because “omg they worked at Amazon” while not holding many other workplaces or seasoned experience outside the bubble. Should lose the ego and listen to some Coaching/Leading podcasts. Longevity is not its strong suite - and maybe something to be learnt - it’s critical to feel a sense of true TEAMMATE-ism, scalable vision, AND SUPPORT for both an individual contributor and manager to dedicate work and/or their time to. Go back to the 101s to understand these concepts.
