Amazon has deleted two job postings that were put on its corporate website for “intelligence analyst” positions, detailing the roles as being responsible for monitoring “labor organizing threats” within the company, according to the British Journal.
The listings went viral on social media a couple of days after they were posted before Amazon removed them, as a result.

Duties included “engaging and informing [executive leadership] on sensitive topics … including labor organizing threats against the company,” according to the listing. – READ MORE
