“I have to say being fired from AWS is actually a relief. There have been a lot of changes to the company since I joined in 2022, and the company I wanted to work for is no longer the same company.”

Many storied companies can be described this way. It’s a shame. Have any companies hit such scale and kept the ethos and magic of before? Is it inevitable for companies to enshitify themselves in the pursuit of their shareholder’s goals?

Not possible once big parts of the company start not knowing other big parts of the company and the company also has a board of directors that must increase shareholder value at all costs.
