I don't disagree with most of what you're saying but I would really caution against trashing a former employer in an article that will be easily searchable so I could understand why even ex-employees would avoid attaching a name to that. No potential new employer will like finding that and having a new job at the time of the article doesn't mean they won't be searching again some day soon.

Because employees and ex-employees are unlikely to speak out against their employers, when they do, an article is noteworthy. That's the reason this article is not noteworthy.

When an article has enough substantiation with names, dates and quotes, management of any company is forced to respond. Jeff Bezos, the CEO of Amazon was forced to respond with this response in August 2015 when an article with facts, names, dates and pictures of ex-employees appeared that claimed that workers at Amazon are overworked.

Nothing in this article requires a response by Reddit because the claims are not backed by anything substantial.

I never said otherwise, I know why an article would like to name sources.
