I have accepted my sexuality and found peace with the long battle of wanting to be something not what I actually am. On one side I have a lot of pressure around me being gay and trying to get a PR and get out of India, on another side I have a lot financial issues. I’m trying so hard to focus on work and to meet the expected bar for my current role. But the office politics here is toxic and always putting me down. Just wondering whether things will get better ever.

Leave amazon. I’ve been in your shoes and trust me - it does not get better.

I was in a similar position of struggling with my sexuality in India. For some reason being in India really made me feel smothered and I always felt like I couldn’t be myself in India. Good call on thinking of moving out. Not sure where you’re considering a PR for, try Canada. Moved here 4 months back and can not love the place more. It’s so open and have not had issues with even a single person.

On work toxicity, yeah I was with amazon before and I know the work culture can be toxic. Try to expedite your PR so at least you have something to look forward to. If you think this is getting unbearable, go for it and look for another job. Nothing’s more important than peace of your mind. Good luck! 😊

Such office politics is not expected from company like Amazon which is dream company for many.

I would argue toxicity is part and parcel of Amazon culture, and very much expected. There's a reason it's the least WLB of the FAANGs

Do Leidos, SAIC, and other mostly-fed consulting businesses pay bonuses to all levels? If so, what does a typical bonus target look like? Booz Allen does not pay bonuses until you get to the Senior Associate level (1 step below Director) and I think that impacts employee performance and work ethic pretty dramatically. I’m wondering if not paying bonuses is common to federal contracting because of how the contracts or priced, or if this is something unique to Booz Allen.
