It was very clear from their post that they were criticising STS from the perspective of an engineer in AWS within a different team.



I assumed in good faith that this is someone knowing internals as a larger customer, not an AWS person shit-talking other AWS teams.

Got curious only after a downvote hence late edit. My bad.

I remember a time when this would be an instant reprimand... Either amzn engs are bolder these days, or amzn hr is trying really hard for amzn to be "world's best employer", or both.


Gotta deanonymize the user to reprimand them. Maybe i am wrong here, but i don’t see it as something an Amazon HR employee would actually waste their time on (exceptions apply for confidential info leaks and other blatantly illegal stuff, of course). Especially given that it might as well be impossible, unless the user incriminated themselves with identifiable info.


It's true that I shouldn't have posted it, was mostly just in a grumpy mood. It's still considered very bad form. I'm not actually there anymore, but the idea stands.
