I have a friend who started at Amazon as a junior SDE. They are less than a year in and have just been put on Focus. Their manager said they have 6 weeks to turn it around before get put on PIP. I know PIP is basically being let go, but is that also true of Focus? The manager (also relatively new) seemed very upset during the meeting. I am also an SDE and I’ve had my fair share of career troubles. I’ve never worked at Amazon, but based on my experience this sounds like a heads up before letting you go rather than an actual chance to improve. 6 weeks is not enough time to make a meaningful change in your work. I personally think they should spend their energy doing interview practice and looking for a new job. Am I right? Or should my friend actually put in effort to improve?
