AWS VP spins employee question about engineer turnover as a good thing — “It’s making us better.” & “Frugality breeds innovation for us.”::An AWS VP answered employee questions over attrition by spinning it as a good thing.
“Kalyanaraman, the AWS VP, said at the meeting that employees should look into using generative AI technologies at work because it can help them become more productive.”
bureaucracy, compounded by AI generated bullshit. kicking rad, yo.
one of the better uses of chatbots would be dealing with all that polite bs bureucracy by email
This is a company in denial
A few weeks back I remember reading a comment here from someone on a thread about RTO who said they worked at AWS but had just left. They were talking about all the people jumping ship and how it was making things hard for the remaining employees. It seems like this is some evidence of that, especially since it looks like somebody leaked meeting transcripts to Business Insider to write about it.
Stuff like this just makes the good ones leave. You’re left with a hollow core of either shitty engineers willing to put up with it, or people being paid too much to leave.
Only 16 principles Amazon? Ok, if you only want to do the minimum, but wouldn’t you like to do more than the minimum?
The problem is they’re losing the top and mid grade. The low quality employees never leave of their own valition.
