Great story on the Beeb, it seems a New York Times article has attacked the Amazon employee and work culture, painting a picture of worker misery and terrible conditions.
The New York Times article quoted one former employee who said: "Nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk."
Apparently you need to sending emails after midnight, and if you get ill, you get the boot.
So Amazon CEO Jeff Bezo has dived into the reputation management role and responded in a memo to all employees, asking them to email him if they were aware or recognised any of the stated working practices.
Lets hope he doesn't get buried in emails 
I do like this line, which basically says if you don't like working here, work somewhere else:
Mr Bezos pointed out that the company depicted in the article could not survive in the "highly competitive tech hiring market".
He wrote: "The people we hire here are the best of the best. You are recruited every day by other world-class companies, and you can work anywhere you want."
