You know how a lot of job applications say something like “Have you ever been fired?”. That is a pretty strong filter.

Constructive dismissal isn't the same thing as being fired for cause, regardless of whether Amazon tries to lie about it.

    I think you're really blowing this out of proportion as if this is the scary "permanent record" teachers used to warn you about in elementary school.

    Explaining that they needed you to relocate and you weren't willing is a satisfactoy answer. Additionally there's no requirement that you put Amazon on your resume if it did come down to that. Frankly I don't think the new employer would really care what happened between you and some other corporation if you seem competent and they aren't going to check every reference on every single person that applies to a corporation with 100k+ employees to stop you from getting an interview first.

    At this point every hiring manager out there is aware of Amazon's terrible workplace practices. Put on the resume don't say you got fired. When you get asked why you left, tell the truth of the situation. Some managers won't want you because if it sure, but the intelligent ones can see the tree through the forest and those are the places you want to work anyway.

    It's sub optimal but that's what happens when you join a place like Amazon.
