Chinese software engineers say: There are three things I can watch forever: fire, water, Amazon fake pivot program.

Daily Beast today interviewed Amazon software engineers, practicing attorneys and one guy who likes to protest:

It goes without saying Amazon Pivot is a pure fake:

Practicing attorneys agree Pivot is fake:

I assume Amazon attorneys will say Pivot is not fake. Well it is expected. Because Amazon pays to its attorneys around $1000 an hour. While Amazon warehouse workers are paid $15 an hour.

Crazy guy who likes to protest also believes Pivot is fake:

Last year first was Bloomberg. The media described how new Amazon program made life of employees even worse.

And of course I can't forget crazy protesting guy explaining pivot with bad English:

After all of that Amazon responded to Daily Beast the company wanted to mitigate conflict with crazy guy:

As usual, Amazon commits mockery by its official response. Here is why:

Finally they did it... Amazon terminated me. And asked me to keep everything in secret.

Is it good or bad news when I am kicked out of Mordor?

No Performance Improvement Plan, no Pivot. No "failed to meet expectations". No appeal.
The last known thing about my performance is nice Forte review of the last year.
In violation of its own policies, Amazon terminated me avoiding any reasonable procedure.
They terminated me during the medical leave.

Today HRs Joel Wilson and Mary-Michelle Brown informed me that they were not kitting threatening me before.

Mary-Michelle reminded:
You have executed a Confidentiality, Noncompetition and Invention Assignment Agreement with the Company. You are reminded that certain provisions of the agreement survive the termination of your employment with the Company and remain in full force and effect.

Amazon again reminds me that I signed agreement to keep crimes of Amazon in secret.

I refuse.

New trick from all and abused Amazon: threat of termination during the leave

I assumed Amazon exhausted all the means of retaliation yet. However I erred.
Amazon Leave team is an independent HR team responsible for evaluating of employees medical documents, granting and extending the leave etc. I was on leave since August of 2018. Every month the team extended my leave.

In June of 2019, I informed Joel Wilson from the Amazon leave team, that I filled charges against Amazon for discrimination, retaliation and violation of unionizing laws. Right on the next month (July) Wilson let me know that my "leave of absence will not be extended" and I am "subject to attendance discipline, up to and including termination, for being away from work without authorization."

Coincidence? If we ask Wilson, he will respond that he is not satisfied with leave documents from my doctor: "it failed to outline your expected period of disability, and did not provide objective documentation of incapacity, restrictions or limitations."

Even if Wilson would be right, there are still questions. Why did Wilson extended my leave during the whole year until I informed him that I filed charges against Amazon? Once I said to Wilson about charges against Amazon, the leave was "magically" terminated.

It goes without saying, Amazon is overwhelmed with toxic culture of retaliation. But there is one more reason for termination. Amazon uses an opportunity to terminate me for "non-attendance" after the leave to prevent from very important activity. If I don't return to work, I can't send working emails and complaints. E. g. last time I sent complaint via the working email, my email was immediately locked.

Amazon does not want to take liability for crimes of its employees

Here is update from my lawsuit with Amazon. After I started protests, I met flood of hate speech, defamation and harassment committed by official Amazon working emails. Amazon filed its response to my amended complaint. While Amazon employees commit hate speech, Amazon says: the company is not liable for that.

The conclusion is for the current Amazon employees. Company forces employees to follow the leadership principle "Insist on the highest standards" [of oppression]. This results in numerous violations of the law. When victims sue Amazon, Amazon says: company is not liable, even if our individual employees are liable.

Amazon employees should follow Amazon leadership principle: have backbone, disagree and commit
