(I worked with Maren briefly. She was great to work with. I also worked at Slashdot for many years, and this headline is trash.)
When you worked with Maren, did she complain about Amazon then? And when you worked at Slashdot, did you leave because of the crappy management? You're right, the article is trash, but really most are these days. Slashdot has nothing to do with "News for Nerds and Stuff that Matters anymore. It's all boiled down to "News for Herds and Stuff that Flatters" instead....which is a good preface for many of the comments that follow.
I don’t know if she did, and don’t care. She was great and we were sad to see her go.
I left because the company was bought, and the new owners laid off some of its more expensive long-tenured employees, since they were putting the site effectively into maintenance mode, trying to sell if off. They just wanted to keep ThinkGeek and didn’t care to improve the other properties. I was forced out, but I was there a long time, and it was good for me to move on when I did.

So the text contradicts the headline: it is not about climate change, but about criticizing the company in public.
This is a fake news headline. Please fix it.
