Hi ███████,

Somehow your other emails didn't register, but I did want to write and let you know that I'm not interested. Thanks for writing though, I do appreciate that I made it through your filters.

The reason I'm not interested in working on Alexa (and other similar IoT devices) is I think they are irresponsible outside of narrowly bracketed vision-impairment accessibility situations. The trade-off of privacy for convenience is only really possible for specific groups of very privileged people.

More generally, I don't think Amazon treats its warehouse workers very well, and I would feel bad being complicit in their continued mistreatment. The HQ2 effort to minimize tax exposure, followed by public statements by your CEO about how he's deciding how to spend his "winnings" would make me feel ashamed to call myself an Amazon employee.

I don't write this because I think you are going to fix these things, but because I think it's my responsibility to help push back on abusive business practices. You need

Hi G—,

Thanks for getting in touch. I am not interested in working at Uber for a number of reasons, which are probably all-too-familiar to you.

Labor issues, specifically the abuse of "dependent contractors”

Lack of transparency around pay, a willingness to change pay out from under drivers (who have very little recourse)
