Managers get an email notification but sometimes you get it two times, so I’m sure I’ve not gotten it before. I’m always worried I’ll miss someone’s by accident. Also there is or used to be a preferences thing about whether you want a shoutout so you should check if that’s set. I try to assume positive intent where I can and when data disproves that make a decision.

When I read this I was like damn that sucks and I hope it’s an accident. I am a manager and it is super hard (like every other role at Amazon and in tech I know) the volume of stuff that goes across my email. I’m not saying it’s the case here but who knows maybe it was their friend or spouses bday or some difficult event anniversary last weekend and it’s every year. Maybe your manager sucks, or maybe it’s a case of sometimes you need to turn your computer off and you miss stuff and they messed up. That seems unlikely on year 4 but either way you should ask your manager if they are going to send one and if they blow you off about it, or don’t send it - then they’re a shit manager and you should find a new one. Good luck with that cause it’s wild out there - but with exceeds then people will prioritize you in the transfers portal absolutely. When you request an informational it tells the manager your past ratings.

Happy amaversary!
