I find it hard to believe that it's false, given that probably hundreds of amazon employees have seen that post and no one's refuted it. If Amazon is astroturfing blind, they're doing a spectacularly bad job at it, the general consensus (from Amazon employees even) is that it's a hellhole compared to its peers.

Let's assume that it's 100% true. This guy is young and it'd be better for him to delete this. I'm totally going to cyberstalk this guy to see where he goes. My number one rule is not to sh*t on former companies with my main account.

That is one of the reasons that companies need to be taxed way more and use that money to assure that people that lose their jobs can still live a decent life. There only way citizens well have freedom of speech is if they are not at the mercy of corporations.
