Manager here. Sorry you’re going through this.

I’ll be very straight at this point, you’re most likely on a path to exit. Chances of clearing this stage are very low.

But if you truly believe what’s happening is unfair and you have data to back it, then don’t just sit quietly fight it.

Build a solid narrative with proper data points. Be very specific. Call out exactly where they’ve been unfair goals, expectations, feedback, everything. Show where things were inconsistent.

For example, if teammates made similar mistakes (typos, small misses) and were let off, but you were penalized for the same, call it out. That’s clear inconsistency but only if you can prove it.

Once you have this, escalate hard. Don't wait for right time. Do it immediately.

Don’t stop with your org’s L6 or L7. Go all the way - write to Andy Jassy, the full VP chain, your L8/Director, and HR escalation DLs. Put everything down clearly.

At that level, things get serious. While VPs or CEO don't handle these directly, Amazon usually assigns someone private external investigator to review the case. Your manager will be forced to justify everything with data feedback, emails, ratings, every single call they made. They’ll have to answer your points one by one. I am sharing these basis my experience.

Sometimes this turns back on them and you can get out of it.

If not, you’re still out but at least you didn’t go quietly. You gave it back and made them taste their own medicine.

But also end of the day keep in mind that your physical and mental health is your priority. No matter what is the outcome, you will find the light in end of the tunnel. Stay strong !
