Anyone concerned about fascism flourishing at Amazon may contact Jeff Bezos directly, claims its foundering Fuhrer, after being publicly shamed for operating one of the most ruthless businesses in history.
Bezos reportedly declined to be interviewed for the New York Times exposé that portrayed the employment conditions he implemented at Amazon’s numerous brick and mortar locations as dog-eat-dog, cat-eat-cat, rat-eat-rat, and tick-eat-louse and flee.
But he did rush to his own defense once the article *unexpectedly* went viral this weekend -- only then issuing thousands of mea culpa emails to his workforce, decrying the NYT piece as outrageous and the beastly behemoth described in it as “not the Amazon I know.”
That some of the gazillionaire’s abused employees have bravely come forward to out Bezos for his open-season bullying policies that left countless workers in tears, ousted others from their jobs if they got pregnant or cancer, and prompted scads more to simply quit in disgust, is commendable.
However, what Amazon’s white-collar survivors are detailing is not much different than what its suppliers, competitors, third party vendors, and even independent publishers have been voicing for years:
Like other culprit corporations with a disdain for the law and workers’ rights, Amazon has an unethical ethos. Period.
