I am sure there is something to complain about at Costco too. Thus, according to some people, we have a slippery slope where Costco is "abusing" their workers, and is "evil", and we shouldn't shop there, etc.
Or we would, if it was as stylish to complain about Costco as it is to complain about Amazon.

I thought it was pretty obvious that I was saying, even relatively good employers would be complained about just as much as any other, if people were in the mood to do so. The complaints aren't actually because of their actions, but because of how people
want to think about them.
People complain about Amazon and any other company because of pre-existing biases that need to be justified.
For that reason, I think I kind of had to compare Amazon to a company agreed to be far better than average to their employees. Sorry if that wasn't clear enough.
