It is verging on irresponsible journalism to give this person anonymity without providing any details on their knowledge or credentials and seemingly spending no effort challenging or fact checking any of these answers. That isn't how these pieces are supposed to be written.

It is verging on irresponsible journalism

No names. No contact information. No accountability.

This isn't journalism. It's a random blog that claims to put out a print edition three times a year.

I didn't even notice the total lack of bylines or masthead. I shouldn't have thrown in the "verging on" qualifier. It is just flat irresponsible to publish this in this manner.

There's a massive off vibe for me in things like

> So if you have cancer and you might die from your cancer, we won't help you get treatment

It just feels.. off. I wouldn't go as far to say the person doesn't work at Amazon at all and instead wants to jab at them but I'm definitely thinking it loudly

To me it feels like someone was kind of bullshitting with their friends and maybe making themselves seem more knowledgeable and important than they really are. It's totally irresponsible to put it in print.

Very much this. They don’t speak in a way that makes me think they have any internal knowledge of the areas they are speaking about.

This is the more likely answer, good shout

The point was regarding fulfillment center workers who don't work enough hours to get company healthcare. That is how it's handled.

If you get cancer or any other major medical catastrophe, Amazon won't do anything to you if you're a part time worker without health insurance. But even if you don't have the health insurance, Amazon will provide support if you catch COVID. Because it's good business to not have one uninsured person to expose an entire shift to a highly communicable disease.

Aye but it's more that it was mentioned at all rather than whether it's true or not

With the exception of it being a whistleblowing thing you don't often see jabs like that -- especially jabs at departments the person has no involvement with. Also if it is whistleblowing it's more a "they" than a "we" thing
