Boss has been saying for several weeks/months that I am not ready for L7 scope, highlighting all my weakness and opportunities to the point I believed her. She even encouraged me to rotate, told me I was not doing well, and that I had find other roles. (I honestly thought I could lose my job). Last week she literally trashed everything I did. I have been looking internally, not finding much interesting roles, and I also went on the hunt for outside roles. I have a great external job offer for a GM role with another tech company, +30% in TC. Have not offered my resignation yet but I am waiting on October vesting and new job starts November 1st. Today in my mid-year review, she tells me I am ready to take on the team, L7 scope role, basically take her current role, and that she is rotating in 3-4 weeks. This seems crazy to me and I am still in shock this shit can happen. Thoughts from other L6+ here at Amazon would be appreciated.
You should ask why the change of heart. Who knows what story was sold upstairs that you need to potentially overcome.
It could just be that she found a good position for herself, and her bosses needed her to find a replacement, so she is just pushing you in to get to the new role she covets
Leave after October vesting for the 30% gain. Buy some Amazon stocks to make you feel better in case it keeps going up.
Don't let people treat you like trash. Leave, and tell Amazon why you left in the exit interview
She was negging you but now that it’s beneficial for her she is going to actually try and give you more work. I would play along with her as if you will take her offer, but really take the external offer and leave.
Maybe I’m a bad person but I love this. She screwed with you and played mind games from her position of power - which is shitty management practice if not unethical. If you have the opportunity to leave and earn more money, definitely do it, but you can play her game in the meantime.
Leave.
It sounds to me like you’re dealing with a narcissist. The only way to save yourself is to get out. This woman will destroy you and she will destroy your career, don’t let her.
Look at her offer as your backup plan (but don’t tell her it’s your backup, she doesn’t sound like she deserves a heads up) and do what you can in the meantime to determine if the new role at the new company is going to include working with politicians like her or not.
Man, fuck that bitch

How much of a bump do you get moving to L7?
Nothing as I won’t be technically an L7
