Depends what you mean. From what I've read, those jobs are crap temp jobs where staff are cheated into working harder based on the false possibility of getting a permanent job. They station medics outside to cart away workers who collapse from the heat and when they wake up they find they're contract is terminated. Kind of like Apple in China (Kapcomm staff were on suicide watch).
Anyway, it depends what you mean...I suppose from a financial point of view it's worth singing about, but from a human point of view it's a cause for great shame. Good on you Amazon, not.
