Sorry, three employees had a talk with HR?That's it?
That's the whole story?
No one was fired? No laws were broken?
I'm not one to give HR the benefit of the doubt, but it is actually quite reasonable for them to find out about something like this and call people in to make sure they're aware of the rules around stuff like "don't represent your personal stance as an official Amazon stance".
And, surprise, if they represent themselves as Amazon, they CAN actually be fired, so it would be perfectly truthful to say "HR said they can be terminated" and also "HR did absolutely nothing illegal"

The whole story is about alleged illegal retaliation by Amazon. Nice try pushing your narrative in the hopes that nobody will read the article.I find arguing based on technicalities and aggressive rhetoric to be dishonest, really.

This doesn’t seem like a technicality. Did you read the article? They used Amazon’s name for their group. They literally named it, “Amazon Employees for Climate Justice”.by tyleo

In the OP's style,Sorry, some employees organized?
That's it?
That's the whole story?
No one was harmed? No regulators were mislead?
It's actually quite reasonable for the people to find out about something like this and publicly reach out to make sure these companies are aware of the laws around stuff like "don't retaliate against employees acting in the public interest."
And surprise, if corporate sympathizers misrepresents acts of public service as "impersonation," it is perfectly reasonable to call them out for their BS. We all know no one's concerned about impersonation risks. They're furious about employees speaking up.

I’m not sure what you’re saying is reasonable. I’m sorry, your comment is just a bit muddled.I don’t think either the employees or company are doing anything illegal here but certainly using the company’s name without permission is grounds for termination and usually in employee agreements.

I'll make it simple for you. Retaliation is illegal. And the button you keep pressing on is a flimsy gotcha.by soraminazuki

> They literally named it, “Amazon Employees for Climate Justice”They are Amazon employees. If they'd called it "Amazon for Climate Justice", then that would be representing as the company, but I don't think it's wrong for them to accurately label themselves.

Yeah, I wouldn’t recommend that either. In general, you shouldn’t put your company name in your political organization unless it has specific protection.You can figure that out beforehand by getting internal HR or external legal advice.
In general I’d be surprised if this isn’t covered by the employee agreement. I don’t think these employees did anything illegal but they probably did break that agreement and could face termination.

extrapolation has been the past 10 years of media clickbait based, usually, on some random account on Twitter; and those accounts are never verified. Fascism didn't happen without a lot of leg work by the increasingly far right idiots.But altogether, it's a business model now, not anythign else.
