Wasn't the Amazon factory thing a bit overblown? Or are the abuses actually on-going and not rare in number?

  The extreme happenings are probably not that extreme anymore from what I've heard. Working conditions in the warehouses are still bad though. They are bad in a lot of shipping warehouses, but Amazon has been among the ones leading the race to the bottom. Apart from that, being an employee at Amazon even outside the warehouse is generally not that great from all the accounts I've hear over the years. A big part of that are their principles[0], which breed that kind of an environment. [0]: https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles https://www.amazon.jobs/en/principles

    Fair enough, I see where you are coming from. I am curious how widespread the poor working environments are at Amazon outside the workhouse, as it is difficult to extrapolate from a few examples. Thanks for the response.
