Are you speaking from experience or simply making things up? I know a fair number of former AWS engineers and managers. None of them think like this.
Maybe they are former AWS employees for a reason and now want things to go better than they were at AWS.
Yes, I am a former AWS employee.
I got put on Focus because my "contributions were not coming through" to leadership.
I am former AWS and this is pretty accurate.
The other factor to add here is that, with some exceptions, the whole company feels like a Rube Goldberg machine and very few people care about what happens outside their cog (because they’re not incentivized to do so).
