Amazon.

All you have to do is look at their status page of green lights when us-east goes down completely to lose complete faith in their status page reflecting anything but wishful thinking.

Seems unlikely, bonuses are not an Amazon thing, and iiuc status pages aren’t a decision such people would be making anyway. A dedicated “devops” person at Amazon (to the extent that’s even a thing, mostly engineering teams own their own ops) would be unlikely to benefit from minimizing issues. The status page issue you’re discussing is real but I don’t think it’s the fault of lower level engineers.
