Draining Pips, Lack Empathy
Draining Pips, Lack Empathy
AWS might be good, but you feel like you're always stressed out, even when there is no work. The PIP culture is draining, and you feel enslaved by their harsh policies. It sometimes feels quite dehumanizing. Maybe that's why not many people stay for long.
Lack of empathy with employees. Frupidity culture. Slow, politics, no more competent engineers as in the previous decade.
Most managers have no idea what's going on in their teams. They hide behind fluency and buzzwords. Very few managers know what they're doing.
