Thanks for sharing.
That said, I don't really get your examples or your message.
It sounds more like you got ensnared in a few things that could happen at any company. You acknowledge this in the end, but you also said:
The more I worked at Amazon, the more I felt that certain aspects of its
culture were so toxic for me that I was barely able to keep going.
As to your examples, it doesn't sound like your situation was like the "Bonnie Situation" at all. Your PM asked you to source PR opportunities. You reached out to an event organizer. The organizer messaged your colleagues (without necessarily violating the NDA.) You got blowback because he followed up with your company's general PR channels. (Was there a mutual expectation that he only followup with you?) Unlike the "Bonnie Situation," you weren't pulled into trouble, you were the one shooting the gun. It sounds like you'd have no way to blame "Faras." Your choices (and bad luck) led to the blowback. It'd be on you and maybe flow up to your PM. Another key difference is that there isn't an attempted cover-up for reasons disproportionate to the severity of the crime.
Also, your example re: your FB post with (happy) swearing doesn't seem unjust, especially if you're (my assumption) using your FB profile to promote AMZN products. You're saying this incident tipped you away from getting a promotion. Respectfully, I doubt that's accurate.
