- Sorry, three employees had a talk with HR?
That's it?
That's the whole story?
No one was fired? No laws were broken?
I'm not one to give HR the benefit of the doubt, but it is actually quite reasonable for them to find out about something like this and call people in to make sure they're aware of the rules around stuff like "don't represent your personal stance as an official Amazon stance".
And, surprise, if they represent themselves as Amazon, they CAN actually be fired, so it would be perfectly truthful to say "HR said they can be terminated" and also "HR did absolutely nothing illegal"
by handoflixue - extrapolation has been the past 10 years of media clickbait based, usually, on some random account on Twitter; and those accounts are never verified. Fascism didn't happen without a lot of leg work by the increasingly far right idiots.
But altogether, it's a business model now, not anythign else.
by cyanydeez - The whole story is about alleged illegal retaliation by Amazon. Nice try pushing your narrative in the hopes that nobody will read the article.
I find arguing based on technicalities and aggressive rhetoric to be dishonest, really.
