Amazon fires two UX designers critical of warehouse working conditions

Mostly I was attempting to comment on the fact that I'm not surprised when anyone working at any company gets fired for publicly criticizing the company. If I work for you, I'd expect to get fired for criticizing you in public. As another user "segmondy" pointed out...

"Don't bite the hand that feeds you. If you must talk against your employer in public, better go anonymous, if you have the courage to reveal your real identity, great! but be ready to bear the consequences. It's unfortunate, but most companies will do the same." [1]

> Don't bite the hand that feeds you

Warehouse workers are literally feeding America right now, so I agree with that part.

For what it's worth https://www.whistleblowers.gov/

Whether or not Amazon ran afoul of the rules remains to be seen.
