AWS abuses

AWS relies on a group of smart fairly paid people to build and continue to grow this Cloud thing, but overall the majority are underpaid and manipulated with very deceiving contracts. They strip you of everything you are when you realize the workload you are expected to do.

The AWS Support organization is one of the worst places where you can deal with the most arrogant, stupid and illiterate customers that constantly ask for things outside AWS support scope and we are often told to deceive them to close issues. They should add deception to innovate and invent as Amazon "Leadership Principles". They certainly deceive us when we take a risk by working every day and night only to be able to get our salary back to normal without ever getting any real increases.

In a nutshell, it's a modern slaves system to lure you in, use you up for a while, then blackmail you in a gentle way to either abuse you even more or throw you away. This is the same way they throw refunds at their customers after a long time where they already billed more than promised from the customer.

A word of advice to every IT Professional or Engineer, even those who are fresh graduates: be careful or you will ruin your future career and destroy your personal life by working with AWS. The only thing you get at the end is their name on your CV and when you realize how manipulative and deceiving this organization had been to you, you wish you would never have thought of joining them.

I have colleagues in different countries who worked for AWS. Racism, discrimination, bias, and managerial corruption in the way they handle everything is clearly a deep part of the culture. The worst part comes when there are good people who try to fix the culture but there's no hope and they are abused even worse than others. This mold grew from the root of the company. Amazon's management style is the new dictatorship style of business and Amazon leadership is the new Hitler over its workforce.

Be careful if you work there and help us to fix these problems. You can also help by not working for them to help them always easily replace all of our abused colleagues.
