#2" I left a negative feedback about my manager Uwais Khan in the daily “Amazon Connect” survey. Amazon Connect team sent to me the report showing how my manager can calculate my answer. At our 1:1 meeting, Khan prohibited me to leave feedback in the system. Since then oppression started.
Khan asked me to work on weekends. Then he asked HR how to prevent me from immigration benefits (not informing me about that)."
"My 3 yo daughter has a development delay and I need to bring her to therapy. For that, I asked Khan for work from home once a week like everybody else in our team. Khan prohibited me to work from home. Moreover, he asked me to come to office at 7 am and sit there alone. All the other team members came to office at 11 am and worked from home without restrictions. And their children were not disabled."
Holy crap is all I can say, honestly.

#3I sincerely hope that this public blog entry and protest leads to some labor reform. Good luck bro.

#4> I am sure in the future Mr Bezos will be placed in one line with Adolf Hitler as an example of genocide.
The guy may have a case somewhere in there, but this kind of hyperbole isn't doing it any favors.
Stripping out the fluff, the concrete concerns seem to be:
- Denied permission to transfer
- Denied permission to WFH
- Placed on PIP and eventually fired
The author's hypothesis is "manager is evil and this is all retaliation", but this is not easily distinguished from "author did not perform well", and the only evidence of performance we have is one "nice" performance review.

#5This really needs the second half of the story before we all get our trusty pitchforks and start making a shish-kebab from this Khan person.

Agreed. Using the H word doesn't help the author's case.

#9I hear you. I know this has happened to many other people and they've told me everything that has happened to them. I say - focus your energy on getting a better boss next time.
There are laws against workplace harassment and it needs lawyers to enforce them. In this specific company, complaints of such harassment would go only to dead ears and further lead to retaliation.
If there are enough cases (and I bet there are), it would mean a class action against such practices. Get some lawyer friends and have a few beers with them.
Once again, I hear you.
Addendum: If you wish to put your SDE skills to good use, develop a social shaming browser plugin with anecdotal evidence tying to a person's professional profile, say, LinkedIn. That will ensure that bad managers are automatically flagged when people visit their profile.

Manager: I have altered the deal, pray I do not alter it further.
Basically.
