Hmmm, like one PIP I got to watch self-destruct up close, where (not at Amazon or a FAANG, but a tier 2 tech company) a manager set a series of actually reasonable deliverables around a new product launch.
And then showed up with HR on day 30 and said "after a long review and careful consideration of the deliverables you were asked to produce, we have determined they do not meet our expectations", only to have aggrieved employee pull up the GDocs activity log to show manager and HR that manager had never so much as opened any of the deliverable documents. Manager then retorted "we talked about this on Slack", only to have the same thing, a series of questions, updates, etc., from employee over the PIP period with literally not one reply or reaction from the manager.
That's me I'm screenshotting the hell out of those and when you want to try to fight my unemployment claim...
