I feel like everyone sharing the viral "EXCLUSIVE" about Amazon's well-documented "The Offer" should know that they're spreading a misleading article that's going to be used by Amazon advocates to discredit actual good reporting on the real union-busting tactics Amazon uses.
"The Offer" is a real (admittedly bonkers) pay-to-quit scheme that Amazon brought in from (also bonkers) Zappos culture. It's not what the reporter is describing, and the reporting is not "EXCLUSIVE."

Furthermore, it's clear that the reporter is using the article to spam solicitations for donations, none of which are actually supporting Amazon workers trying to unionize.
Basically, if you're sharing the article, which does not acknowledge the previous existence of "The Offer" and has literally zero sourcing of the reporter's claim that it has been altered to include a right to return after the union vote, you are damaging the union cause.
It's really frustrating as a person with a small account to see a viral grift unfolding in real time and be powerless to stop it as big accounts reflexively RT the grift with no regard to the harm it does to the credibility of real reporters!
And now to drink whiskey until I pass out.
