I think what's important to think about here is how the type of company we think of Amazon as (a tech company) informs our belief in how the work conditions should be. HN isn't exactly full of articles about how terrible the work conditions at Macy's or the local trash pickup service are, and that's because we think of retail or sanitation as different kinds of work. If we think of Amazon as a big warehouse fulfillment company or a retail department store, our expectations drop and Amazon starts to look more like the other companies in those spaces.
Instead we should realize what Amazon is (or overlaps with), and get upset about poor work conditions in the entire sector.
