the manager stability thing is real and underrated. people focus on TC comparisons and forget that manager churn at amazon basically resets your promo clock

what level did you join at and what are you now? curious about the promo pace from actual data

same experience. took a pay cut from meta and the WLB has been worth it. the grass is different not necessarily greener but different in good ways

the forced ranking thing is real. at amazon i was top performer two years then suddenly on a pip. google's system isn't perfect but it doesn't do that
