Amazon Tries To Buy Ex-Worker Loyalty
from the the-fine-line-between-being-generous-and-offering-bribes dept
Apparently, as part of their severance options, Amazon.com is offering laid off employees extra money for signing an agreement not to "disparage" the company. Union officials are telling the employees not to sign it. Amazon claims they're just being generous. It seems a little questionable that in order to partake of the generosity you need to sign an extra piece of paper.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
