At Amazon, you have to write a document about how awesome you are, name people who will say you’re awesome, and romanticize projects you work on to get promoted.

I worked at.Amazon for 7 years as a manager of large orgs. Your manager presenting a document (written in collaboration with you) that details impact, includes feedback from those who best know your work, and highlights the best reasons not to promote (to ensure nothing is hidden) is far and away the most rigorous and fair way to promote in the industry. What is your complaint exactly? What is your proposed better way?
