Amazon employees say they were threatened for climate change criticism

Two Amazon employees who spoke out against the company's environmental policies say they were threatened with termination if they continue to violate the company's external communications policy, The Washington Post reports.

In October, the employees, Maren Costa and Jamie Kowalski, told The Washington Post that Amazon contributes to climate change by supporting oil- and gas-company exploration with its cloud computing business. Both employees say they were subsequently called into meetings with human resources, where they were accused of violating the company's external communications policy. Costa says she then received an email from a company lawyer, who claimed future violations could "result in formal corrective action, up to and including termination of your employment with Amazon." Kowlanski says she received a similar email.

In a statement provided to Engadget, an Amazon spokesperson said:

"Our policy regarding external communications is not new and we believe is similar to other large companies. We recently updated the policy and related approval process to make it easier for employees to participate in external activities such as speeches, media interviews, and use of the company's logo. As with any company policy, employees may receive a notification from our HR team if we learn of an instance where a policy is not being followed."

As part of its overall communications rules, Amazon tells employees they may speak out on social media, as long as they do not share confidential business information, The Washington Post notes.

The incident speaks to the growing trend of employees calling out large tech companies on everything from their environmental policies to workplace diversity, sexual misconduct, human rights policy and "retaliation culture."

It also speaks to the issue of Big Tech companies clamping down on employee criticism and protests. Most recently, the National Labor Relations Board instructed Google to remind employees that they can speak freely about workplace issues, after employees alleged they were fired for union organizing, a claim Google denies. As the tech labor movement continues to gain momentum, incidents like these will likely become more common.

Update 1/2/2020 3:08PM ET: This story was updated to include a statement from Amazon.

  • Gold Steadies Above December Low With Focus on Stimulus, Dollar

    (Bloomberg) -- Gold steadied, recovering from an almost seven-week low, amid caution in markets as investors assessed the outlook for the dollar and the timeline for a U.S. stimulus package.European equities and U.S. futures were under pressure and Asian stocks were mixed. Global shares slipped last week after optimism about the $1.9 trillion U.S. aid package, and the so-called reflation trade, faltered into a long weekend, with U.S. markets shut Monday for a holiday. Bullion recovered from earlier losses “amid broad risk-off sentiment,” said Margaret Yang, a strategist at DailyFX.“Market sentiment is tilted toward the cautious side after U.S. equities pulled back from their recent highs, despite robust corporate earnings,” Yang said. “As U.S. markets are closed for a public holiday, thinner liquidity conditions could exacerbate price volatility.”Meanwhile, former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen is expected to affirm the U.S.’s commitment to market-determined exchange rates when she testifies on Capitol Hill Tuesday, and she’ll make clear the U.S. doesn’t seek a weaker dollar for competitive advantage, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter. A gauge of the greenback climbed in the past two weeks, putting pressure on gold.Bullion has fallen more than 3% this year as U.S. Treasury yields and the dollar climbed on hopes that Covid-19 vaccines and more fiscal stimulus will aid an economic recovery. Inflation expectations have increased, though too slowly to compensate for the rise in bond rates, diminishing gold’s appeal in what has typically been a strong month for the metal in the past decade.Hedge funds cut their net-long positions by almost a third in the week to Jan. 12, while exchange-traded funds capped the first weekly outflow in four on Friday.Spot gold added 0.2% to $1,832.76 an ounce by 10:30 a.m. in London, after earlier falling as much as 1.3% to the lowest since Dec. 1.

  • Non-contact Metrology Solutions Powering the Global Dimensional Metrology Market for the Automotive Industry

    This research analyzes the global trends in the dimensional metrology market in the automotive industry. The automotive industry witnessed a period of sluggish demand in 2018 and 2019, which had an impact on the dimensional metrology market.New York, Jan. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "Non-contact Metrology Solutions Powering the Global Dimensional Metrology Market for the Automotive Industry" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06008245/?utm_source=GNW The onset of the Covid-19 pandemic resulted in the shutting down of borders and several manufacturing plants, globally.This disrupted demand, with automotive production witnessing a slump of -25-30%. The onset of Covid-19 has halted production globally and is resulting in many upcoming projects being canceled or delayed.With businesses impacted and the supply chain disrupted globally, 2020 witnessed a considerable decline in orders for dimensional metrology products as well. Despite several countries beginning to relax restrictions, it is unlikely for demand to return to the pre-Covid-19 levels in 2020 and 2021. The oil price slump did not help the situation and resulted in oversupply with weak demand. Once industries resume close to previous plant utilization levels, demand will also increase. The market has been segmented by product type and regional markets. The study covers a market share analysis of the top competitors as well as a SWOT analysis of these participants. The study also identifies the prominent channel of distribution used in this market. Annual estimates and forecasts are provided from 2016 to 2024. The geographical scope of the study includes North America, Europe (Eu), Asia-pacific (APAC), and Rest-of-the-World (RoW). North America and Europe are significant contributors to the dimensional metrology market in the automotive industry with both these regions housing several key automotive OEMs and Tier I suppliers. APAC was the largest contributor and the fastest-growing region with growing industrialization in economies such as China and India. Also, with China recovering after the initial slump in Q1 2020, demand in this region is expected to be back to 2019 levels at the earliest. The global dimensional metrology market in the automotive industry is estimated to reach approximately $1,748.2 million by 2024. The CMM segment still holds the major share of the market, while the C&M segment accounts for the second-largest in terms of revenue. However, the calipers and micrometers segments are relatively mature, with vendors focused more on the 3D laser scanners market, which is expected to witness the fastest growth. Demand for inline measurements is growing as process automation in applications across the automotive industry increases. The report discusses various trends that are changing the dimensional metrology market in the automotive industry, and their business impact for enterprises, service providers, and small and medium businesses.

  • India Stocks Drop for Second Day, Edge Away from Key 50,000 Mark

    (Bloomberg) -- India’s equity benchmark fell in line with its regional peers on Monday, extending Friday’s decline. The drop moved the S&P BSE Sensex further away from the key 50,000 level it was looking to breach last week.The benchmark slid 1%, closing at 48,564.27, with the NSE Nifty 50 Index posting a similar retreat.One of the world’s largest inoculation drives kicked off on Saturday as India vaccinated 224,301 people in an effort to stem the coronavirus outbreak. About 10.6 million people have been infected with the disease in India in the world’s second-worst outbreak.“Like global markets, India is overbought and waiting for a negative trigger,” said Deepak Jasani, head of retail research at HDFC Securities Ltd. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index was down 0.4% as the week began amid weakened risk appetite.Foreign investors bought $2.4 billion worth of Indian stocks in the first two weeks of this month after investing the most since 2012 last year. They have been behind the surge in the country’s key stock gauges to successive new highs in recent weeks.“Markets look poised for a smaller correction, as the narrative around Covid-19 globally suggests that the problem might still not be behind us,” said Nikhil Kamath, chief investment officer at True Beacon, an India-based hedge fund. “A second wave of lockdowns following the trend of what’s happening globally is a possibility.”All five of the Nifty 50 companies to have announced results so far have beaten estimates. HDFC Bank Ltd. was among the top gainers on the Sensex, after India’s largest private lender by assets on Saturday reported strong loan growth and a drop in bad loans for its December-ending quarter.The Numbers17 out of 19 sector indexes compiled by BSE Ltd. slipped, led by a gauge of metal companiesInfosys Ltd. contributed the most to the Sensex decline, and decreased 2.5%, while Oil and Natural Gas Corp. had the largest drop, falling 4.6%Reliance Industries Ltd. was the biggest advancer on the Sensex, climbing 2.4% after Mint reported that the company aims to embed JioMart in Whatsapp in the next six monthsMarket-related storiesBharti Airtel Plans to Raise $1 Billion Via Perpetual Bonds: ETA $6 Billion Fund Is Bullish on Indian Stocks Unfazed by PricesA Top Fund Manager Is Bullish on Riskier India Debt on RecoveryIndia’s Fuel Demand Makes Shaky Start to 2021 With Fading SalesEmerging Markets Need Reserves as Shock Buffers, RBI’s Das SaysRBI Open to Consider a Bad Bank If There’s a Proposal, Das SaysFor more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • New CDU leader lags Bavarian premier in race to succeed Merkel

    Armin Laschet, the new leader of Germany's Christian Democrats, has yet to convince voters he would be a better choice than Bavarian premier Markus Soeder to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel after elections in September, a poll showed on Monday. Centrist Laschet positioned himself on Saturday as the man to heal divisions among Merkel's Christian Democratic Union (CDU) after party delegates chose him to lead the party, putting him in pole position to succeed her as chancellor. However, 36% of voters would still prefer Soeder to be chancellor candidate for Merkel's conservative alliance, a survey of 2,000 voters by pollster Forsa for broadcaster RTL/ntv conducted after Saturday's vote showed.

  • Tycoon Adani to Raise $2.5 Billion From Green Deal With Total

    (Bloomberg) -- Indian billionaire Gautam Adani is raising $2.5 billion from a deal that includes the sale of a minority stake in his renewables business to French energy giant Total SE, a transaction that may help the tycoon cut group debt.Paris-based Total will acquire 20% of Adani Green Energy Ltd. and a board seat as well as a 50% stake in a portfolio of operating solar assets with 2.35 gigawatts capacity, the company said Monday in a statement, confirming an earlier report by Bloomberg News. But shares of Adani Green have more than quadrupled in value in the past year in Mumbai, giving the company a market value of about $20 billion.Adani is the latest Indian tycoon to raise money by selling a piece of his empire to an overseas partner, as rising consumption of electricity to fuels and mobile data makes the country an attractive destination for some investors. Last year, Mukesh Ambani -- India’s richest man -- mopped up about $27 billion from Facebook Inc., Google and private-equity investors for his technology and retail ventures.“Primarily, this fund infusion will help Adani lower its leverage,” said Chakri Lokapriya, chief executive officer at TCG Asset Management in Mumbai. “Thanks to a series of deals, Adani is highly leveraged at this point of time.”The Adani group, which started off as a commodities trader in 1988, has grown rapidly to become India’s top private-sector port operator and power generator. In 2019, Adani started focusing on airports, and now he’s trying to enter sectors including data storage and financial services. Adani Enterprises Ltd., the biggest listed company in his group, had about $1.7 billion of consolidated debt as of March 2020, according to Brickwork Ratings.The latest transaction marks Total’s third commitment to the Adani group. In 2019, the French firm spent $600 million to buy a 37.4% stake in Adani Gas Ltd., now called Adani Total Gas, and in February last year, acquired 50% of a solar assets joint venture.“India is the right place to put into action our energy transition strategy based on two pillars: renewables and natural gas,” Total CEO Patrick Pouyanne said in the statement.It’s also Total’s third deal in a week in the renewables area, following the acquisition of a French biogas producer and of a stake in a large U.S. solar portfolio, underscoring mounting pressure from investors, governments and consumers on energy giants to reduce carbon dioxide emissions.Total, which invested $8 billion from 2016 to 2020 in battery manufacturing, power utilities, solar and wind projects, intends to increase spending on electricity and clean energy to become one of the top five renewable companies by the end of the decade. The producer, which had close to 7 gigawatts of gross renewable power capacity at the end of last year, is targeting 35 gigawatts by 2025.Stiff Targets“Renewable energy investment will have to be ramped up and oil and gas supermajors have set themselves fairly stiff targets,” said Debasish Mishra, a Mumbai-based partner at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu. “India, given its increasing energy demand, renewable energy potential and policy intent, is an attractive investment destination.”Adani Green is targeting 25 gigawatts of renewable capacity by 2025, the company said in a separate statement. Chairman Adani last year signaled there was room for founders to dilute their stake in the company and flagged global energy producers, including Total, were interested in investing as they expand their renewable portfolios.Adani Green shares rose as much as 3.4% on Monday in Mumbai.While Adani has done well at home, his controversial Carmichael coal mine in Australia has faced criticism from environmentalists, including from activist Greta Thunberg. Adani added $22.5 billion to his net worth last year to become India’s second-richest man, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.For more articles like this, please visit us at bloomberg.comSubscribe now to stay ahead with the most trusted business news source.©2021 Bloomberg L.P.

  • 5G Network Deployment Catalyzes the Global Communications Test and Measurement Market

    The COVID-19 pandemic caught most of the world off guard, forcing governments to impose lockdowns. Wireless communications, therefore, became the lifeline of enterprises whose employees were forced to work from home (WFH).New York, Jan. 18, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Reportlinker.com announces the release of the report "5G Network Deployment Catalyzes the Global Communications Test and Measurement Market" - https://www.reportlinker.com/p06008250/?utm_source=GNW Although the pandemic could be seen as a viable opportunity for operators and service providers to capitalize upon demand, that was not the case. The network operator and service provider community was instead challenged by an inability to adequately scale their infrastructure to accommodate the surge in traffic on their networks. This affected the quality of service and experience for subscribers. The fact that larger enterprises now have a WFH workforce means that data has become more vulnerable to malware such as distributed denial of service (DDoS) and ransomware attacks. Service providers and enterprises require solutions that ensure high quality of service and experience while securing the integrity of proprietary data from theft. While network operators remain on course to deploy a full-fledged 5G network, the WFH phenomenon has caused many people to migrate to tier II and III towns and cities, which are less dense than the mega cities they lived in previously. This shift has mitigated the urgency in deployment of small cell clusters that have high throughput but very low coverage. Network operators have instead used radio frequency (RF) planning solutions with active network testing to efficiently deploy 5G networks. Although COVID-19 has slowed down 5G networks to a certain degree, at the same time, significant congestion has bombarded LTE broadband networks. Simultaneously, there has been major development in connected vehicles and Industrial Internet of Things ( IIoT) technologies, which will require testing solutions that are predominantly used in the communications industry. While a lot of work remains in the development of 5G, work on 6G has just started. This has pushed demand for equipment that can test terahertz (THz) wave technologies, particularly for research and development (R&D). However, a considerable work remains in standardizing the new 6G network. Demand for the type of testing solution required would therefore be restricted to those that test the physical layer. From a geographic perspective, North America and Asia-Pacific lead the wireless communications industry. Led by the United States, North America has made important strides in 5G.
