I highly doubt Amazon cares about $28000

• qsymmachus 7y ago
  They probably care more about bad publicity than fines, especially since they're already under public scrutiny for their treatment of warehouse workers.

  That's what I thought. Maybe it is about the state showing what it could do for Amazon in the future, should they build their HQ there? Or maybe it is more about saving the image of the company then the actual fine?

    It's mentioned in the Reveal (investigative radio news source) coverage that Indiana had an active bid for HQ2 at the time the coverup happened.

      That whole "new HQ" operation was a brilliant hoax. I hope the people who pulled that off see at least some of their options vest before they get laid off.

  The warehouse business is a loss or low on profit. $28000 is a lot for one warehouse.
