Amazon has now lost a senior executive as Tim Bray has departed the retail goliath, citing the reason for leaving as the way in which Amazon treated staff who protested against the lack of coronavirus safety measures in its warehouses.
Bray, a well-regarded coding engineer who is thought to have earned more than $1m (£803,000) a year, claimed in a blog post that Amazon fired the organiser of a small protest about safety conditions at a warehouse. Bray describing the sacking of protesters as “evidence of a vein of toxicity running through the company culture”.
