It seems like they were threatened termination for disobeying the new policy they implemented as stated in the article.

>"The new policy requires staff members to seek permission from Amazon prior to talking in a public forum while identified as an employee."

Not really saying anything about if the policy is ok or not, just that it doesn't seem like this is really about climate change but rather speaking out against the company

That new policy sounds a lot like the old policy that prohibited Amazon employees from speaking publicly.

I hope that there's some nuance I'm missing there, I was glad to see that Amazon had dropped the old social media etc. policy.
