It's truly fascinating how companies won't bat at an eye at spending ungodly amounts of money on things they don't need, but will sweat profusely at the thought of a tiny fraction of that going towards additional compensation.

Enriching AWS does not threaten their social standing.

Sabotaging your company's infrastructure for a bonus is a great way to end up in prison.

Hopefully your company doesn't have its head up its ass and has basic things like logs setup. The vast majority of what I do in production is logged through AWS (Cloudtrail) or git.
