Amazon Employees Petition Top Brass to Pull Ads from Breitbart News

Out of a third of a million employees and less than 600 complain they feel less safe. I think they need psychiatrists, not the company they work for to bend over backwards for them. The entire protesting of businesses because they have different values from yours is ridiculous. The fact these companies allow them to manipulate the way they do business instead of speaking against the stupidity and manipulation gets my blood pressure up.

I’m protesting Breitbart right now.

Quit reading it when they stated posting a bunch of anti-Trump crap.

The website is basically terrible at this point.

Americans make Amazon employees “feel unsafe”. ROTFL. They need to STFU and just “feel” about doing their jobs.

[freedumb2003]

Yes because cutting off advertising to about 1/2 of your potential customers to satisfy your easily-triggered snowflakes is a GREAT business decision!

[Gaffer]

I think I am beginning to agree with you. I see too much of this concern-ninny Trump stuff even here.

AMAZON IS HEADQUARTERED IN DOWNTOWN SEATTLE, WASHINGTON.

Snowflake international exporting (for a price) creampuffery in cultures all over the planet.

Amazon would do well to let them go, there brainswill be overly worried in their daily work now and likely not do their best work if not cause actual mistakes, problems, call in sick etc.

Pepsi: “Watch this!”
United: “Hold my beer!”
Amazon: “Look, ma! No hands!”

They should pull their ads from alt-left sources like the Washington Post too but I am not so sure Bezos would go along with that.

If they do, we should mount a campaign for advertisers to pull ads from the Washington Post and other extremist liberal fake news sources.

I don’t think most people have any clue what corporate offices are like anymore. I’ve visited a few in my job hunting, and it is astounding how much liberal dogma is on display everywhere. Rainbow flag ‘safe space’ posters on most office doors is just the tip of the iceberg.

And while you’ll see photos of young children decorating cubicles, not a single photo of a husband/wife together; well, except in the cubicle of the rainbow flag waiving employee who has their photo with their partner in a large heart shaped frame along with the legend ‘best husband ever’ and about 50 paper hearts tacked around it.

So I’m not surprised about agenda driven campaigns like this; after all, similar ones brought the Boy Scouts of America to their knees so gays could join. (a self inflicted wound since the organization operated so well for many years without a full time national board which depended upon corporate donations to survive.)

[chris37]

Yep, it’s going around, and it’s terrible.

But it is particularly bad at breitbart IMO.

[knarf]

There are consequences (and no cure that I know of) for creampufferism.

Amazon employees are up in arms and stepping up the pressure on the higher brass to remove Amazon advertisements from the Breitbart News site. The overwhelming consensus from frustrated employees is the “alt-right” news site promotes discrimination, and it makes them feel “unsafe.”

"Unsafe" is the new word for "racist".

Snowflakes: Stupid people doing and saying stupid things stupidly and we all know it's impossible to fix stupid.

[WKUHilltopper]

How about a petition to pull their employment?

[HotHunt]

Geez, who ARE these people? Feel unsafe because of ads on a website? My goodness.

If I was their boss, I'd tell them to get back to work and stop whining.

[subterfuge]

Stop wasting time sending worthless email and get back to work you idiots!

[RayChuang88]

Actually, Amazon does a LOT of its advertising on Twitter's "suggested Tweet" feed and on Facebook--they very well know that their biggest customers are tech-savvy customers willing to buy online.

[CMailBag]

Is it as bad as FOX News?? Their ‘guests’ (Who they pay handsomely) are approaching the 50% hate mark.

[Da Coyote]

I love Amazon, but will pull out if the employees keep thinking(?) that their sole purpose in life is to foist their views on others.

Hey dummies, you’re there to sell stuff.

So, STFU and sell stuff.

[Boomer]

On what basis? They make us look like bullies? Not thinking that would be the correct response. It would feed into the left’s narrative methinks.
