Is BIG TECH Enforcing PIP Quotas? (FAANG aka PIP FACTORY)

[@swaggitypigfig8413]

It's well documented that PIPs are standard operating procedure over at Amazon. Every org has a quota of people they need to let go of every year.

[@ChristopherCricketWallace]

a PIP is the beginning of the legal process for them to fire you with minimal legal issues.
It's rare to beat the PIP. They already decided to fire you.
It's never mentioned that the management never gets PIPs for failing to train and coach their direct reports properly. It's ALWAYS the worker's fault; but the leadership is NEVER to blame for their poor leadership and management decisions.

0:16 PIP stands for Paid Interview Practice, my good sir!

[@boyalgo]

Fuck thats a good one LOL

[@fp_yanter9686]

Thank you for talking about these things. Its hard to understand whats actually happening at Big Tech when you arent involved directly.

Google has to do something. Their revenue was up only 1% year over year in the latest quarter. But their headcount was up 22% year over year.

Did I just watch a guy play rat exterminator for 4 minutes? Damn it!

[@maryzhang8825]

Is there any indication of PIP before it happens in Google or it's more of a surprise suddenly?

[@boyalgo]

I would say at a lot of these companies they would have something as a warning indicator before hand. Like being put on FOCUS at Amazon. Or receiving SCI at Google

[@caiqueportolira]

In my case it was 100% surprise, they said everything was fine till the fateful day of perf feedback.

[@caiqueportolira]

I beat the first PIP, but after that you're just isolated, honestly you should just interview somewhere else and save face.

Hey, boyalgo, it's me your TL. Pls quit wasting your time making videos and go chat with bard

[@thomasf.9869]

One can't help thinking that big tech is signing its own death warrant. When this work culture becomes normalised real talent wont stay around for that long, and instead gravitate to smaller, more disruptive and nimble firms which will eventually supplant them. Think of IBM in the 90s compared to IBM now. Big Tech has become an Orwellian dystopia. The free market will PIP them.

[@jayrollo1352]

Anyone who says GRAD is better than Perf is just coping. GRAD was created to PIP more people.

[@boyalgo]

GRAD is a nightmare LOL

[@FizzyP-u3u]

What’s GRAD?

[@jayrollo1352]

@@FizzyP-u3u It's specific to Google. Basically how they rank people.

[@FizzyP-u3u]

Thanks! I work in tech and we have 5 point rating scale with a % expected in each rating category 🥲
The bottom of the list generally get PIP’d 🫠
Does that sound similar to GRAD?

[@jayrollo1352]

@@FizzyP-u3u Pretty much 1:1 with what you just described unfortunately lol.

Ah men, after this I started get more paranoid about losing my job

What's the average lifespan of a Google employee, 2 years? The Diversity and Inclusion hires are the first to go under PIP.
