I'm assuming they published it on medium as a blog post targeting the tech community because they were trying to persuade potential future employees that Amazon is a good place to work. What it actually shows to me is that Amazon really is a horrible place to work. Splattering internals from employee files onto a public forum in order to smear them (because none of those smears actually refute what those employees said) is the same underhanded tactic Scientology uses to smear critics, who happen to be ex-members. I for one would never, ever work for an employer willing to use such despicable tactics.
