(Probably a dangerous idea and don't suggest you actually do this, but if I was to put on my black hat...) I think the most impactful thing you can do is try to harm productivity by wasting engineering time and resources. Anonymously post a manifesto about how AWS employees are organizing to maliciously waste time, introduce bugs into the AWS codebase and otherwise cause downtime and degradation of services because of FC issues. Bring it to as many managers as would be inconspicuous saying, "Hey, it looks like some coworkers are trying to damage the business and waste time because of FC issues, thought this should be on your radar." - begin sowing distrust. Use your inside knowledge to make the threat appear credible, but coming from a different team. Say they are planning to: Report bugs introduced by your most talented coworkers as potential acts of malicious sabotage or cybersecurity threats. Report and escalate every minor security policy violation you see to the highest level possible - over-applying policies in places where there is ambiguity but it is not technically necessary. Ignore the errors of and speak highly of coworkers that are ineffective and/or make many errors. Start pedantic-but-seemingly-reasonable arguments in code reviews. Accuse other coworkers raising valid concerns of being pedantic, unreasonable, impractical, yagni, yak shaving etc. Try to get people to hold unnecessary meetings on issues that don't require one - ideally where you don't have to attend. You don't have to actually do any of these things, just act concerned and warn coworkers and managers to keep an eye out for these malicious behaviors. If you could convince management that 2% of their AWS workforce was attempting to engage in these behaviors, it would create a culture of distrust that would waste huge amounts of resources tracking down false leads and dealing with unfounded accusations - and the existence of the meme in the culture would likely inspire some jaded engineers to actually engage in some of these behaviors without direct coordination.
