That's mainly for their blue collar jobs afaik

True, yes, I think so, too. Though I have heard working for AWS is brutal for a white collar job. Obviously not as bad as being a driver or warehouse person.

Working for AWS is definitely not for everyone. It's pretty rough but generally you're treated better than Amazon retail.

I work with it enough as a customer to know how astonishingly broad and deep all the various AWS products and services are. You'd think they'd treat those employees better than they do. That platform is way ahead of the competition.

I worked in support for 3 and a half years and the best part of the job was the people I worked with. Some of the smartest people I've ever met. But they all had the same complaints, incorrect metric measuring, making the workplace hostile by creating a system that pitts people against each other, making what was once a collaborative workspace into a competitive one. They didn't use the stick until you were shown to not be able to catch the carrot, and every few months they moved that carrot forward a few inches, making sure you had to work 4x as hard to meet your metrics.

My friends say that over the last 5 years it's become a shit place to work.
