Amazon is a retail business. They can only earn money from razor-thin margins by pushing to keep costs down so hard.
This is why it is fundamentally unfair to compare Amazon to Apple, Microsoft, Facebook or Google. They are in different businesses. Other companies are fortunate to not have to treat humans so poorly to be able to exist.
- serge2k 11y agoI disagree completely with the idea that they have to treat people this way. They choose to because it's easier and more profitable. It's scummy as hell.
- brown9-2 11y agoI'm not making excuses for them (see my other comments in this thread). But I think that one thing saving other companies from being like this is that they don't feel monetary pressure to do so.
