In a new scoop from the Intercept‘s Ken Klippenstein, it turns out that Amazon is working on an internal messaging app — and employees working on it have discussed banning a hilarious number of labor-related words, including “union,” “restrooms,” and “pay raise”, Futurist reports

But it does provide a timely peek at anxieties inside the world’s largest online marketplace about the future of what it’s often seemed to view as a disposable work force who prepares its goods for shipment.

This isn’t the first time Amazon has publicly bungled attempts to control the discourse about it. In 2019, the company was widely mocked for recruiting employees to post pro-Amazon talking points on social media as “Ambassadors.”
