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.
This fucker, and the shithead CEO of Twitter/X…just, wow. These people must have gone to the same bullshit PR class in grad school.
You don’t need to go to school to be a sociopath, and capitalism rewards you for being one. He’s right where the system intended him to be.
They just don’t know how to stfu, do they? Getting real damn cocky lately…
Bullshit, you’re constantly losing experience and culture

The morons that make those kind of suggestions don’t know what the fuck they’re talking about too. Yeah let’s go ahead and allow business to dictate to the engineers about how to be more productive, give me a fucking break
one of the better uses of chatbots would be dealing with all that polite bs bureucracy by email
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?
This is the best summary I could come up with:
It is one of the many challenges AWS employees are currently dealing with, alongside slowing growth and a more bureaucratic culture, as BI previously reported.
In email to BI, Amazon’s spokesperson, Rob Munoz, said employee attrition at AWS has declined in recent years.
As we’ve previously told Insider, attrition among AWS employees has declined in recent years and to suggest anything otherwise is inaccurate.
Prasad made the point that frugality breeds innovation because it necessitates prioritization, and this helps us build better products for our customers," Munoz said in a statement.
AWS also lost some of its most high-profile executives, including former SVP Charlie Bell, marketing chief Rachel Thornton, and data center VP Chris Vonderhaar, in the past two years
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.

The problem is they’re losing the top and mid grade. The low quality employees never leave of their own valition.
