Seems like the process just adds politics where they aren't needed. It makes it harder to fire bad employees, and incentives bad employees to play politics on the way out.

If I worked for Amazon, I'd want no part in the process. Bad situations end best when everyone cuts their losses quickly.

In my experience, the best way to get rid of someone is to offer a generous severance period. In theory, the person can take a long vacation or get two paychecks for a few months.
