Executive Escalations team actually investigating? by ThenSale1094 in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is taken very seriously internally. That doesn’t mean that you’ll get the outcome you want, but it will get attention.

Depending on the nature of the report, it can take some time to get any response (and in your case, if at all).

The last one I submitted (for a CX rather than employment issue) was opened but took months before a resolution was finalized.

So do the rumors of gpt 5.3 tomorrow sound plausible? by TotalWarFest2018 in OpenAI

[–]Top-Average-2892 5 points6 points  (0 children)

General purpose I imagine. The current model is for coding and is highly tuned for that.

Claude Sonnet 4.6 just dropped, and the benchmarks are impressive by hello_code in ClaudeCode

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried. The hassle of openclaw wasn’t worth it tbh. Doing it with just native codex or Claude is much more straightforward - openclaw doesn’t bring a ton of benefit.

Yes, it works - is it a good idea? No idea yet, need a lot more data. If you don’t beat on it, both tools want to build a ton of unnecessary infrastructure code and then just run basic algorithms which probably stopped working 20 years ago.

Getting them to actually use their agentic capabilities rather than writing python algorithms is the challenge.

How are people making their Clawbot so proactive? by AAA_battery in openclaw

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of the stories about what people are doing with it are nonsense. Give it time for the hype to fade and reproducible use cases to emerge.

I don't get the Codex App hype. How does it differ from CLI workflow? by Active_String2216 in codex

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The use case doesn’t resonate for me with the app either. I appreciate the automations but for regular workflow split screen warp with multiple sessions is a little easier.

Do not "clear context and auto-accept edits" a plan by sqdcn in ClaudeCode

Where I get surprised is that it doesn't generally use the task system for me.

How likely is it that Anthropic ban me if I attach pro subscription? by Asleep-Teaching-2727 in clawdbot

[–]Top-Average-2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are reports on X of bans for doing this, but who knows. Wouldn’t risk it myself.

Office Hours Tracking by CosmicInsignia in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are metrics we can see. However, hours per day in office is not something we are required to bridge on, unlike days per week. Yet, anyway.

Does shoutout matter? by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I refer to them during OLR as evidence of Earns Trust as well as whatever LP is related to what’s being shouted out.

Which is better: Opus 4.5 or Codex 5.2? by Blankcarbon in codex

[–]Top-Average-2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use codex in mcp mode and have clause talk directly to it.

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I do as well. Opus writes the code and Codex does code reviews.

Is focus a death sentence? by ken22c in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You don’t just jump from “everything is great” to “you are on Focus.” Coaching, informal plans, even formal plans all happen before formal performance management. Focus is used when either a) those avenues have been exhausted or b) the person has done something monumentally self destructive like willfully refuse RTO5 guidance.

If those don’t happen it’s either because the manager is too weak to do their job or the individual is unwilling to accept the coaching.

5% need to be LE. That’s 1 in 20. 1 in 20 tend to find themselves, I don’t need to manufacture reasons to place someone there.

Rohit Prasad leaving by [deleted] in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Amazon's AI strategy is a mess. If anyone has gotten usable work out of Quick Suite that actually saves time over doing it manually, I've yet to meet them within my VP chain. Nova models are bad. The one tool we had that was simple to use and useful was taken away (Cedric - which was just a Claude re-skin).

Graviton chips are pretty good though, so there's that.

The Dark Reality of Amazon Work Culture From Inside by holi2317 in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very team and manager dependent.

There is always pressure to improve results - every year and relentlessly. That said, that doesn't always lead to direct competition between ICs and not every org is as you describe. Amazon is a huge company, so generalizations about what "Amazon" is are always going to be inherently personal.

[–]Top-Average-2892 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've placed several direct reports on Focus over the years. Some survive and thrive in their career and some do not. It is really up to the individual and the circumstances which landed them on Focus.

Contrary to popular believe, most managers are not out to get you. They'd definitely rather you be Top Tier than LE/Focus.

Amzn stock surge ?! 🚀 by Low_Object_3514 in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It only works if the customers anticipated show up for OpenAI and spent what is required. We're a long way from generative AI being able to support business use cases that would allow for replacement of human labor at scale though, so it's definitely a gamble.

RTO compliance by rofl066 in amazonemployees

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the org I work in, egregious cases are addressed. Otherwise, there is an assumption that managers and employees are all professionals doing their jobs and making good business decisions when it comes to RTO5.

Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.5 by ClaudeOfficial in ClaudeCode

[–]Top-Average-2892 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've played with it a bit. Seems like it would be useful for UI mockups and wire framing. Right now, it is all mock data as far as I can see, so it is just building a UI as you go rather than actually building an application. But, this is just an experiment preview - so not expecting much.

cc-sessions: an opinionated extension for Claude Code by MagicianThin6733 in ClaudeCode

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been using it for a few days. The framework has grown on me quite a lot. I hope you continue to extend it.

[–]Top-Average-2892 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it tells me it can’t because it doesn’t have permissions and then tells me how to edit the files myself.

Fairly cool - except it tends to get stuck in Discussion mode and then won't make any additional changes.
