(CNN) From a mid-level engineer to the CEO, Amazon employees are fighting back hard against accusations that the company treats its workers deplorably.
CEO Jeff Bezos, in a widely distributed staff memo, refuted a New York Times Amazon exposé that portrayed the company as a “brutal” place to work. He rebutted the claim that Amazon is a place where managers routinely weed out employees and backstabbing is encouraged.
“The article doesn’t describe the Amazon I know or the caring Amazonians I work with every day,” Bezos wrote on Sunday. “I strongly believe that anyone working in a company that really is like the one described in the NYT would be crazy to stay. I know I would leave such a company.”
