Amazon threatened to fire two tech workers who spoke about climate and Amazon’s business, then 357 more workers joined them
“Amazon’s main principle is Customer Obsession, it is time to broaden it and get obsessed with Humanity. Collaborating all together we can save our Planet. With great power comes great responsibility — Amazon should make drastic changes in the way it operates, shift company goals and values to be an example for other corporations. Amazon’s order of 100,000 electric vans is the right move for our supply chain’s future and is also a step in the right direction that sends a signal to the market to help the transition to clean technology. Well done! At the same time, Amazon should end its contracts with oil and gas companies. Our AI and ML are being used for ‘finding oil,’ ‘producing oil,’ and ‘optimizing production’ (source: AWS Oil & Gas public website).” — Mila Rahman, DSP Payments Lead
