Recently, AWS Greater China was rumored to have terminated employees through means such as "not renewing three-year contracts and implementing Performance Improvement Plans (PIPs)", affecting approximately 10% of the workforce across all departments. In response, Amazon Web Services categorically denied these reports, emphasizing that the company is actively engaged in talent recruitment in China. It is noted that AWS China employees must achieve a TT performance rating to renew their contracts upon expiration of the three-year term, a standard that is met by only the top 10% of performers. Additionally, AWS Greater China has tightened its recruitment quotas this year, with minimal indicators for non-sales teams, and has not replenished its workforce following any layoffs.
