I can't imagine this Olson story is over.
AMZN publicly airs personal and damaging information about illegal activity (their words) of a named former employee, in an attempt to destroy his credibility as a source of their story. The former employee publicly refutes those claims, essentially saying that AMZN is intentionally telling a lie. Someone is not telling the truth, and I'm not sure there is much wiggle room in this scenario for both to be plausibly correct.
No matter who is the truthful party, AMZN has taken on a lot of potential legal liability, and for what? In an attempt to refute one source of an article that has many sources. And a source that said people cry at their desk.
Seems a very large bet to place with little to be gained. I would imagine Mr. Olson has already been contacted by lawyers galore.
- deskamess 11y agoIt will likely be settled out of court. AMZN cannot risk having any of the NYT story ex-employees be bought up in a courtroom. The truth could be devastating and validate NYT. If I were Olson I would let the lawyers work on a simple 35-40% commission.
