What if you started collecting data to show your bosses that Amazon’s treatment of FC workers is starting to impact the AWS business? For example, I’ve long since stopped ordering from Amazon because of the way they treat warehouse workers but I still used AWS. A few weeks ago I decided to quit AWS, too. Not because of any issue with AWS but because I don’t want to give any money to Amazon.
Switching platforms is a bit like switching cellphone providers or a bank - the customers are “sticky” and will put up with a lot because the transition is a giant pain in the ass. I’m just one small player but I’m sure there are others. And the longer Amazon fights against treating their employees like humans the more collateral damage there will be to all of the Amazon brands.
I wish it were as easy as appealing to management to do the “right thing” but sometimes it helps to show people there’s something in it for them, too. If AWS management knows their otherwise well-run division is taking collateral damage because of bad warehouse PR they might be moved to lend their voices to the cause as well. Make the warehouse worker problems AWS management problems, so to speak.
