> I doubt that within Amazon case they were plans and orders to deliberately kill annoying employees.

I don't see anyone here say Amazon murdered (deliberately killed) people, but arguing they killed people. Kill can mean murder, which implies intent/doing so deliberately, but can also mean manslaughter, which does not require it to be deliberate.

Sorry as I’m not an English native, that level of languages nuances might be above what I will ever master.

To my mind, "kill" wasn’t something you might inadvertedly do, except maybe for bugs and thus small entities.

Anyway, once again, in no way I mean to play Amazon attorney here.
