Amazon steps up battle over NY Times workplace probe

War of words: Amazon is ramping up its challenge of the New York Post's controversial story about the tech giant's workplace practices.

WASHINGTON: Amazon renewed its criticism of a New York Times investigation of the US online giant’s workplace, saying the newspaper ignored and omitted key facts about the company. 

Amazon spokesman Jay Carney said in a blog post that much of the article published in August was based on interviews with a former employee whose “brief tenure at Amazon ended after an investigation revealed he had attempted to defraud vendors and conceal it by falsifying business records.”
