Is there a reverse incentive here?
*IF we bloat AWS costs for 1 year, then at year end find a way to cut 50k.. bam, big bonus?
Maybe if the adding to AWS cost team is a different team from the lowering cost team...
- wil421 9y agoSomething like this happens all the time in Corportate IT, I've been seeing it a a lot lately. It goes like this VP agrees to do these projects in 2018 at X amount. VP gets the highest possible cost for X. VP cuts projects and/or project budgets down to bare minimum. Now he can say he saved whatever amount and is a hero for saving so much let's give him a fat bonus.
