So what did he do to get fired?
I suspect he had a conservative thought. The Thought Police busted him.
He was a freelancer who needed a W2 steady income for mortgage purposes. Wufe’s an attorney. This ain’t bread and butter for him. It’s a lark
He didn’t get fired. He got paid for each article. He may or may not have an article that would suit the company’s needs so he would miss out on the pay.
With Amazon, he gets a steady paycheck, and in his case benefits as well.
