I don't think that's going to accomplish more than this HN post on Christmas, honestly

Jassy knows how easy it is for engineers who passed the Amazon bar to find new jobs. He's going to think "Welcome to The Jungle, kid" and move on

If you ask me. OP dodged a bullet here. Amazon has turned into a toxic swamp

You're writing this as if Bezos / Jaffy or anyone at their level is even going to read some random person's angry email.
I've gotten a reply from Bezos (or more likely an EA) before, it happens.

Sidenote: EAs are just as good. Having been on the end of an EA to a CEO telling me to fix something I can tell you it's not a place you want to be. They can, in a limited way, invoke CEO power.

It's never a sure thing but it doesn't hurt to try either.

Also Werner Vogels once popped into a hacker news thread I posted about my AWS account having leaked keys and a bill run up by a "hacker" (this was before it was common)[0][1].

The funny thing is one of their LPs is this:

Strive to be Earth’s Best Employer Leaders work every day to create a safer, more productive, higher performing, more diverse, and more just work environment. They lead with empathy, have fun at work, and make it easy for others to have fun.

Hey Amazon, I am having no fun!

Bezos read my email as a prime member. Think the chances of this getting you blackballed from work is low and the upside is there. Nothing left to lose in my opinion
