I worked for Amazon, I found it an abusive workplace. Not just because after a re-org I was taken away from a good boss and put under an abuser, but because the culture of the company is set up by people who clearly don't respect employees. I had interactions with Amazon management all the way up to, and including, Jeff Bezos, and the problems outlined in the article are systematic. By definition any previous employee who does not like a company is "disgruntled". And while there are employees who are insulated from the abuse, often by working for the good people at Amazon (and there are a lot of good people there) the idea that companies are good by nature is a mistake and there seems to be a bias that any employee who complains must be the problem. So, it's natural to bash the employee speaking out, and that's the route that Amazon has taken. Well, there are thousands of us, and what we witnessed was not one off events, but the result of a culture.
