Isn’t that retaliation?
Yeah it is
Just another reason to add to the long list of reasons not to work for Amazon.
Or to buy from Amazon.
Or to watch from Amazon
The best way to get promoted is to change jobs every 3-6 years.
If you’re in tech, you can lower that to 1-2 years easily. That’s why 25 year olds in software are making 250k in the US

I know a few folks in software in the US, and the lion’s share aren’t making $250k/year. The ones that are all have Masters/PhDs and are leads/specialists in the Top 20 industry leaders. I don’t know who you’re working for that pays a quarter million per code-monkey flailing at python, but if there’s a job opening that pays this well please let me know. I’ve got over 15 years experience doing big boy shit for a Fortune 500, and I’d love an extra $100k/year.
I don’t have any interest in getting promoted again. I was at my current job for 6 months when they promoted me to the last real IC level. The only thing i gain from here is more responsibility. All this is going to do is rot Amazon’s culture as underperformers get promoted and excellent engineers become content to coast in the background.
You didn’t get a pay raise?
I find most places want to push for more repsonsibility and a promotion with the idea that you will get a raise later for it and then never does.
Not much of one in terms of percentage. I’m already making mid 6 figures.
seems illegal
Probably is. That doesn’t usually stop Amazon, though…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Employees who don’t regularly work in an office at least three days a week will find that any potential promotion will be subject to an additional layer of leadership approval, the e-commerce giant confirmed to CNN on Friday.
There are a “variety of factors we consider when determining an employee’s readiness for the next level,” Brad Glasser, an Amazon spokesperson, told CNN in a statement.
In February, some three years into the dawn of the work-from-home era initially brought on by the pandemic, CEO Andy Jassy said that staffers would be required to return to office at least three days per week starting in May.
“Collaborating and inventing is easier and more effective when we’re in person,” Jassy told workers at the time in a company memo.
In August, meanwhile, Amazon sent a warning email to some of its office workers that said it believed they were not complying with its return-to-office policies.
The company said it has a remote work exception request policy in place, which is considered on a case-by-case basis.
