Actually the external communications policy is not at all difficult to comply with. Essentially if they want to speak as a representative of Amazon then they need to get approval, if they want to speak as a private citizen they don't. If they're going to reveal internal procedures or plans the company may have then they need approval, if they want to tell someone how to do something generic like code an interface for ea

They've never claimed to have any authority to represent Amazon, they've been speaking out while identified as Amazon workers which is something different. Unless you're an anonymous nobody talking to other anonymous nobodies on an online forum, people will know who you are and where you work even if you don't explicitly say it. Pretty much any speaker at a conference will have a short bio about themselves. Many will have a LinkedIn page. In ye old days you were handing out business cards left and right lin
No, that's not the case at all. I work at Amazon doing physical security, the pertinent portion of the External Communications doc says "external communication by employees about Amazon’s business, products, services, technology, or customers must be approved in advance by Public Relations." That's it. Later in the doc it says that employees, including in the FCs, "may freely communicate about their personal work experiences at Amazon without PR approval". It's not hard to comply with, really.
But anyting that you have knowledge of is an aspect of your own experience. Vigorously of internal policy just creates dishonesty.
vet the internal workings of a business you cannot obtain the information to responsibly choose whether or not to endorse their policies and methods with your patronage.
If you don't know how they do business then you don't know what type of future you are promoting by participating in the profitability of this company.
Money represenrs influence and control over other people
Never worry about theory as long as the machinery does what it's supposed to do.
