This is not a hack job or a garbage story. 17 engineers left BO this summer in the week after the BO flight, at the same time reports of internal dissension first started being reported openly.
And with respect to Abrams, "for cause" in hercase was...allegedly receiving export control violation warnings. In the context of her former job in employee communications, that would mean disclosing information in press releases that was subject to export controls. It's hard to imagine what sort of PR employee would have access to information subject to export controls at a civilian spaceflight company, since that information should have been sanitized before getting to the PR team. Either Blue Origin is confessing that multiple employees violated export controls or that they lack proper controls on such information (either way, placing their federal contracts at risk), or they're lying, so take what Blue Origin says here with a huge boulder of salt.
Also, CBS News spoke with 5 of the other (anonymous) signatories. They wouldn't disclose their names for fear of getting sued. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/blue-origin-alexandra-abrams-safety-workplace-culture/ https://www.cbsnews.com/news/blue-origin-alexandra-abrams-sa...
