There's bunch of red flags right from the beginning: > When Cindy Warner joined Amazon Web Services in February 2020, she saw it as an opportunity to increase diversity and reshape the company’s strategy. ... Warner, ... said she had faced pay discrimination and an underlying culture of sexism and homophobia. She sued the cloud computing company alleging that male executives at AWS treated her with “open contempt, insults, and hostility” and upheld a “white boys’ club” – and claims she was fired shortly after. It sounds like _she_ was the most toxic person there and was yeeted from the team for a reason.

> She recalls how AWS “aggressively” recruited her, offering a quick path to higher-level roles and better pay That is sexism on Amazons part by definition. It also directly contradicts her discrimination assessment. At this point I have what some would call prejudice against people wanting to reshape me for inclusion and diversity. I would call that experience though. Of course you will have difficulties if they plant a diversity hire in a high position just because she is a women. That reaction isn't sexism of course and the hate should ideally be directed at those promoting "positive discrimination" instead of her, but it isn't surprising. I accepted my culture as terrible by now. Sue me please. > particularly women and people of color If she wants to syphon sympathy of unrelated groups for personal career, firing her was a good decision. This is no management quality.

Which part of the passage you quoted shows her toxicity? Unless you think she's lying.
