Bogus Times ^ | 4-17-17 | Kim Parkhurst

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.”

According to internal emails in February retrieved by BuzzFeed News, dozens of Amazon employees are voicing deep concerns through internal emails that Amazon advertise on Breitbart, despite being an outspoken critic of President Trump’s immigration policies. They are urging the company to cut ties with the news site.

The snowflakes should be told, “You’re fired!” and given a green crayon as their severance package.

Maybe they’d feel safer if we stopped shopping there and they all got laid off.

Ok, lets be honest for a second. Anyone, and I mean ANYONE that spends a billion dollars a year trying to prevent their employees from stealing from them, knows damn well that the VAST majority of actual those Employees don’t have the slightest idea what Breitbart is, nor do they care!

Amazon treats their employees the way major drug cartels treat the naked women they use to pack their products.

When BuzzFeed News first reported the story in February, only 34 employees had filed individual complaints to management. With a petition now in circulation with nearly 600 signatories, many of whom are women, people of color, or LGBTQ, momentum is growing.

Amazon soars to more than 341K employees — adding more than 110K people in a single year

Did you see that loony tune on Fox & Friends earlier who was comparing Trump and Kim? She was whining how monstrous they both were and worse that one had a twitter account.

Yep. I’ve been there, but didn’t get a chance to ride the “S.L.U.T” (South Lake Union Transit).

World of pajama boys and their sisters.

I’m sort of with you. However, I had a very happy awakening when I moved from Seattle Corporate to Kentucky Corporate.

Imagine, before your team luncheon, the CEO prays over the food. Guess which city that happened in?

“Out of a third of a million employees and less than 600 complain they feel less safe.”

Sounds like someone provided Soros’ henchmen with a contact list of Amazon employees to recruit.

These poor assholes probably never heard of the Second Amendment. Morons.

B.S. manufactured by Bezos himself. When done using his employees as propaganda tools, he’ll relpace them with robots.

What about those who feel less safe when Democrats are in power, with their efforts to criminalize Christianity, abolish the Second Amendment, censor free speech, physically attack conservatives, flood the country with illegals, and destroy national sovereignty?
