If it had been almost any other Amazon, I would have been okay with a negative review. When I heard coworkers gabbing near the front sign-in or in the mail room about evaluation stress, I’d just quietly roll my eyes. “Yes, please tell me how horrible it is to have your fate arbitrarily decided based on a single incident and whether or not the person in power likes you enough….” I imagined myself saying.
But this was Janet. Crazy as they were, good Amazons like Beouf and Janet didn’t deserve this kind of horseshit.
“Needs improvement,” I said. “What does that even mean? Can you be fired?”
