My opinion:
The pamphlet is tone-deaf in light of the worker abuses at Amazon, but otherwise it's fine. It contains sound advice for staying healthy and uninjured while doing what is a physical job. It emphasises health, and not all-out performance. It contains useful information, like a bullet point about Amazon's program that gives employees a credit that can be used for buying shoes. It's not significantly different from the advice given by posture coaches and dieticians that have been brought into places I've worked as a software developer. Employers want their employees to be healthy and performant. These health initiatives are not altruistic, but also not evil.
