Amazon is well known for training employees to defend the company on-line. Aren't you being too generous with an anonymous comment that you provide no link to? Is not possible that is just Amazon propaganda?

90% of the point of blind is to shit on your own company anonymously (at least, that's what I use it for). I find it hard to believe that it's false, given that probably hundreds of amazon employees have seen that post and no one's refuted it.

If Amazon is astroturfing blind, they're doing a spectacularly bad job at it, the general consensus (from Amazon employees even) is that it's a hellhole compared to its peers.

I left amazon 5 and a half years ago, but never heard anything while I was there about defending the company online.

Could you elaborate on this?

"After years of ridicule and harsh press coverage, Amazon has finally disbanded its Twitter army. Part of a perplexing guerrilla PR campaign, the Amazon FC Ambassadors were a group of Twitter accounts belonging to employees who were paid to respond to posts criticizing the company." https://slate.com/technology/2022/01/amazon-fc-ambassadors-t...

Let's assume that it's 100% true. This guy is young and it'd be better for him to delete this. I'm totally going to cyberstalk this guy to see where he goes.

My number one rule is not to sh*t on former companies with my main account.

That is a felony in many places in the world. Companies do this kind of harassing, thou. That is one of the reasons that companies need to be taxed way more and use that money to assure that people that lose their jobs can still live a decent life.

There only way citizens well have freedom of speech is if they are not at the mercy of corporations.

By Cyberstalk I think he means... "Follow him on Linkedin"?
