An an Amazon employee I can say this absolutely happens, and not only that, some managers really think they are upholding the Amazon bar by pipping people out early. "He didn't meet the bar" is something ive heard multiple times after someone was only a month on the job. Not only that, teammates often dont help eachother, old systems are extremely complex. There is very little sympathy, and massive data collection about employees and their productivity.

I've noticed the same, and spent years in Apple's engineering, which was healthy as a culture and very very positively run, so the contrast is immediately visible and the blatant lying about leadership principles and hiring and developing the best are at once laughably obvious and super dysfunctional.
