What is happening at Amazon , In 2020 I have joined as a L3 and since last year I am being promised that I will get promoted to L4 but when time comes they will delay it and give any reasons instead of performing best in the team and meeting all the criteria for the promotion. The manager who took my interview was a L4 at that time and now he/she became L6. When the time is coming for their promotions it is happening smoothly and when it is L3 turns then they are out of budget. What the hell😡

There are plenty of folks on Amazon who won't allow you advance or even just reach their level. Everyone is concerned about developing themselves. And, trust me, your manager is solely concerned about his connection scores. People need to be told politely how awful they are in order for them to understand your request. My supreme leader mr. micro manager acts like a therapist who listens in group meetings but doesn't care about my problems or the problems of others when we approach him. He also exaggerates giving sick leaves as if he is sacrificing his own leaves. Amazon is filled with narcissists and the only way up is to find a person in upper levels with common interest or religion or caste and region and make friends with him and impress him and literally be the Dwight Shrute of the Michael Scott.

In my team as well - L4 got promoted cause she was bff with L5. If they're promising you promotions but not giving. Move on. They're just dangling a carrot to get you to work.

Why do you need promotion? Just ask for good hike.

There’s a bracket for every role, since he/she was a top performer, probably would have touched or crossed the bracket in 2-3 years. Hence promotion becomes necessary. I was given 2% hike this year despite being in top tier due to being over the range for the role🥲

Was in similar situation, Being top tier performer for last 2 years, other folks got promoted due to their own scores with the manager. Was promised promotion in vbp but vbp was never announced and then I left the company. Joined with 150% hike. Just move out. Amazon is not the same as before.

If they are not offering any promotions, don't wait. Try looking outside, and you may find a better salary increase along with the designation you desire.
