I looked it up and it appears Amazon's current office in NYC is in Midtown -- meaning 2 employees of several thousand -- bought a condo in a neighborhood just a couple of subway stops away. Probably because they couldn't afford to live in Manhattan!

ARREST THEM! People shouldn't' be spending their paychecks on a home with a decent commute to work.

This is scandalous! I am certain we can find a few people in every major company that would attest that this should be illegal.

I'm usually an amazon hater (with a shiny amazon prime subscription...) but I agree with you, this is a stretch even by amazon hater standards.

It was probably originally only one but in order to say employees (plural) they stretched a bit. It was, after all, only a one-person lie. No big deal. But a much different headline / title.

Right. The only thing that's scandalous here is that the author didn't think of the most likely explanation. smh

Hopefully they display journalistic integrity and update the story.
