Amazon fires two UX designers critical of warehouse working conditions

I don't think discontinuing employment should be categorized as 'evil'. Amazon doesn't owe them a job, and if the seller of labour crossed a line that the buyer doesn't like and that has been clearly spelled out prior to the work beginning, no one should force the buyer to continue buying labour from the seller. That would be closer to evil than the former option.

It seems rather authoritarian to totally shred the relationship over mild dissent. How weak and pathetic is the Amazon leadership that they cannot tolerate criticism?

I don't think Amazon tries very hard to silence criticism. If you need proof, there are plenty of WaPo op-eds shitting on Amazon.

I don't think it is absurd not to want to employ someone who is an activist against you.

I don't think it is absurd to exile someone critical of the country's administration.
