Amazon fires two UX designers critical of warehouse working conditions

Here’s my take. If I think a company is doing wrong and I believe I should stand against it, I would then consider that taking a stand will likely result in termination; but if I believe strongly then I’d do it because of principle not be cause a law is protecting me.

That’s not to say I disagree with workers’ protections only tat if you believe strongly then protections or not should not be much of a consideration.

That said, is Amazon acting illegally so you’re calling that out or do I just disagree with their position?

I agree, but I should not be surprised if they terminated me because of it.

Maybe not surprised, but morally outraged certainly

I’m not sure. Let’s say me and my neighbor borrow things from each other and have an okay relationship. Maybe some time later they think I underpaid them for a used car when they find out I sold it for double the price. They don’t talk to me and we’re not friends any longer.

Do I get outraged at them? Should they be outraged at me? Did anyone of us do anything illegal?
