It's too hard for me to post links from my phone. Look the story up on Google.

as a manager, PIPs always make me nervous as you never know how the employee will react. Ive done them where I was anticipating a physical attack (it ended up only being a verbal attack which resulted in immediate termination) and where I wondered how the individual's anxiety level and mental health would be affected (he quit 2 weeks later).

PIPs have their place but in my opinion - given the job market and talent pool - it would be better to just release under performing employees.

Its a high high stress area, Amazon is in South Lake Union, Seattle. The job is tough, housing in the area is a shoebox and expensive. Traffic is a nightmare. Its no worth the quality of life to make it in Amazon. Well maybe just for the resume help and than leave for greener pastures.

PIP = we are going to fire you but need to document your failures first. Which is why it sets people off.

Yes indeed. Combine a high test job, a very high COL in which you can be a paycheck away from joining the homeless population even if you make a lot often leads to these scenarios.
