Why does anyone work there? What a nightmare.
They pay extremely well, don't they?
And a huge number of people just don't care about these issues like you do.

#22A third party service that validates all members are part of a company/organization, and then allows anonymous postings viewable to just those validated members would be very useful, IMO.
There is good reason to have these discussions in a place where Amazon's management is not in control.

Unless you have stable enough finances not to work, there are only so many positions many people are qualified for.
I think people forget just how precarious the ever growing precariat class is: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precariat
I suspect is the future of employment for everyone without organized labor fighting back for their own interests.

My company didn't have a large presence on there, but the app Blind seems to fit the bill.

I interviewed for a job there paying more than 2x my current salary in total comp, and I'm already making a lot of money.

Blind pretty much does this now, but it's mostly people asking about pay. https://www.teamblind.com/

Blind is based in South Korea. (Disclosure: one of my parents is ethnically South Korean, and I have very high regard for South Korea and its citizens.)
Given the stakes involved with workplace organizing and the opacity (from a legal perspective) of a South Korea-based business, Blind may not be the right platform.
At the very least, some US workers may be reluctant to open up on a platform not subject to US labor law.

What's needed isn't an anonymous app. Organizing your workplace involves risk, there's no way around that.
