There's hard and there's creating a toxic work environment, treating your employees like garbage and creating burnout. Amazon is the latter. It just sounds like they do not care at all about the people working those jobs.

It drives me crazy that we're grovelling for a company that acts this way. I find it a little sad. I'm really hoping we can attract some companies that are good employers with this little song and dance.

Make no mistake the job numbers are wildly optimistic. This is company is on the forefront of job automation. There will be fewer jobs with Amazon over time.

I really try to use Amazon as little as possible, I just find the way they treat people pretty gross. Obviously I have lots of products that were made by underappreciated employees but I try and keep it in mind when I purchase.
