No one has said that Amazon itself has made Hire to fire a system. It doesn't make sense for a business to implement such a loss making strategy.
> Hiring managers are DESPERATE For people
You already admit to this. Now add to this the pressure on hiring managers to fire a certain number from his team. The only course of action he can take is to convince the bar raiser to accept the new hire even if the candidate is subpar.
It's strange that even after 500 interviews you have not this. I've been involved in less than a fifth of that interview number, and already seen this.
Even if you have not seen such cases you don't have any basis to claim that it doesn't happen. Logic and majority of evidence indicates that this takes place.
I've started observing this recently. I too didn't see such push earlier. Maybe because of recent supply crunch, hiring managers have become more desperate to save the head of the existing people in their team.
I've seen cases where out of 2 out of 4 people are not inclined (including BR), but still hiring manager convinces everyone that the candidate should be hired with the assurance of focusing more on the candidate to make them meet the bar.
Managers generally overrule other's opinions by giving promise of personally coaching the new hire to make them meet the bar. In most cases such people are put on coaching plan, and thereafter fired. URA quota is an open secret at Amazon, and some employee appreciate the practice of hire to fire, as it saves their own employment. That in turn ensures that objection to bad hire is non existent.

In most cases such people are put on a plan, ironically called "Coaching Plan" itself, and thereafter fired.

That in turn ensures that objection to bad hire, who is going to be "coached" is non existent.
Amazon, not putting chat button against orders is a very good example of it not being customer focused. Amazon should not be taken seriously when it claims that it's the most customer focused company on the planet.
