Tole’s addition to this legal saga came in January. He commenced his journey with Amazon in June 2017 and is a member of the U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Tole was part of Amazon Pathways, a four-year program for service members to gain managerial experience before advancing to a general manager position. Despite good performance reviews, upon his return from military service in the fall of 2021, Tole’s prospects took a grim turn. He was pulled from consideration for promotion, began receiving negative reviews, and found himself consigned to a night shift, forced to restart his climb for the next promotion. Meanwhile, colleagues who had started with him in the Pathways program, and who hadn’t taken leave, moved ahead.
