AWS desperately needs talented employees

However, all it can attract are average employees who also leave very quickly. Does it seem to you that new hires as such would not be able to get a job here now if they had applied a few years ago?

Ageism

57 year old employee (and company founder) was walked out after 27 years of dedicated service. Thrown out like an old loaf of bread. Hopefully, he got an appropriate severance package and career coaching so he can get a fresh start.
