The worst thing that happened was that Amazon killed one of their employees. Covering that up and not punishing them for it was bad, but let's keep some sense of perspective here.
Lots of folks on HN are in management. I'll assume that none of them have killed any employees recently... Was that because the proper government agencies have regularly informed them of their duty not to kill employees? Or was it rather that many of us are human beings and don't want to regularly kill people just to save few dollars on e.g. sufficient training programs?

I would argue the actual cover up is much worse, as if it were successful it would allow behavior to continue unimpeded.
- Ididntdothis 7y agoThat was my point. A government agency should never ever cover up things. Once you allow that then government doesn’t work properly anymore. Same for corrupt cops and other government employees.
- vageli 7y agoAbusing the public trust instilled in an office undermines the very foundation of society. I couldn't agree with you more.
