I say this is only ok because he did that in amazon. Fuck amazon

If he did that in a medium-or-less sized company that would be a really shitty move.

In a small company noone would try to label you "l5" or "l6" and probably an actual human would make your comp decision. You take the byzantine incentive structure away and people just try to do a good job.

The problem is the large companies like Amazon buy all the small ones and put these people in charge lol
