I for one am glad that you took this action. I do something similar for Amazon specifically: I politely decline the offer to interview up front stating that I take issue with how Amazon treats its employees across many of its departments and I link the FACE
of Amazon website here: https://sites.google.com/site/thefaceofamazon/ https://sites.google.com/site/thefaceofamazon/ .
I was not always this way. I interviewed there twice and was rejected both times. It was disappointing at the time, but I consider it a blessing now because I know that I am not ambitious / competitive to the necessary degree I would need to be to do well there.
I still buy things on Amazon, and I consume a lot of content on their wholly-owned subsidiary Twitch, but I do not believe that a ruthless focus on the customer necessarily means ruthlessly treating employees and contractors to as close to the breaking point as permitted by law. For Amazon specifically, I’ve started looking more towards companies like Costco and NewEgg for what they carry. I’ve done the same with other tech companies too: I only have Google for Gmail, and a silent Twitter account that I do nothing on besides update passwords and 2FA if I see the day where my voice counts for something.
