    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.
