Are Amazon promotions and appraisals politically driven??

I've observed a significant amount of internal politics within Amazon departments, particularly regarding promotions. It seems like individuals who engage in favoritism or 'bootlicking' are the ones often rewarded with promotions. Have others also noticed this trend?

Politics in promotions? Happens everywhere, not just Amazon. The key is to outshine with your work. Now, how will you do that?

Despite your outstanding contributions and the value you bring to the table, leaders often prioritize individuals who are closer to them.

Not true. Everyone thinks they have worked hard. If your work isn’t making sense to leadership then its fair to reward less hardworking individual who actually made some impact.

Yes. Promotion depends on the manager and other higher up stakeholders. It's not fully meritocracy driven.

Yeah. Also “diversity” candidates precede the stack these days just cuz it’s a L8 org metric!

Ratings not revealed during appraisal. A scam?

People in my organization recently went through performance appraisal and like every time, the manager does not reveal employees’ rating. This is most likely a scam as the employees are rated and the ratings are recorded in the system but not revealed. Is it how we have in other organizations? Add your comments.
