It’s not just warehouse workers, there was a pretty infamous article from the NYT about the office workers:

The money quote that I find telling:
“Nearly every person I worked with, I saw cry at their desk.” - Person in books marketing.
What kind of environment are you building if entire teams in BOOKS marketing are getting so stressed they’re crying publicly at their desk?
Reading the stories is just unreal and that article was from 7 years ago. My public perception is that it has gotten worse. You can go on blind and read countless stories about people that were hired to fired, gaslighted into thinking they’re terrible workers, PIP galore.
The only confounding thing to me is that Amazon doesn’t have the same reputation as Oracle in the tech scene.
