Overview
- Internal guidelines reported by Business Insider say corporate employees must now submit three to five accomplishments in their Forte reviews.
- The guidance defines accomplishments as specific projects, goals, initiatives, or process improvements and encourages noting risks or innovations that did not fully succeed, along with planned growth actions.
- Managers will weigh these entries with peer feedback, alignment to Leadership Principles, and role skills to assign an Overall Value rating that influences pay.
- A badge-based dashboard that began rolling out in December lets managers track office attendance and categorizes workers as Low-Time Badgers, Zero Badgers, or Unassigned Building Badgers.
- Amazon declined to comment, and coverage links the stricter reviews and monitoring to Jassy’s broader cultural reset following a return-to-office mandate, compensation changes, management cuts, and last year’s corporate layoffs alongside AI investment.
