hughlang··on Amazon Workers Facing Firing Can Appeal to a Jury of Their Co-Workers
The "jury of their co-workers" is a scary farce that begins with the continuous 360 feedback that is built into their current employee performance model. I have read that this is integrated into the WorkDay HR software platform, which is used for timesheets and everything else.

You might have a disagreement with a co-worker, and next thing you know, you are getting live feedback, behind your back. And then after that... you are begging to not get fired. Someday, the jury and appeal process might get automated through WorkDay as well. Sounds fun!

Bezos is an investor in WorkDay and Amazon uses this 360 feature. Other companies use it too. See also: https://blog.impraise.com/360-feedback/the-amazon-controvers...
