Definitely read it with the usual Gawker Grain of Salt. Besides, those who are let go are often the most negative about a company. I don't think that most of Amazon is run that badly.

    Ok well I guess now is the time to do what HR reps say is great, and the rest of us know is the nail in the coffin of your job: talk to HR about the situation.

I've never had to deal with HR, so this stuck out to me. Is it that bad?

The problem with HR in many high level companies is that they end up not being for employees to report problems, but for the company to locate people who are a problem (squeaky wheels, as it were) and make their life difficult. It's a way of getting rid of people you don't want as part of the company without firing them.
