One of the drawbacks of publicly traded corporations (and to a much, much lesser degree, all corporations) is that the law requires the people who run one to care about money, and only money. This is a strong incentive to screw over anybody they believe will be more profitable to screw over than not. All big corporations tend to do so, unless they have a really extraordinary person in charge.

I feel limited sympathy for Amazon's employees, though. I would never work for them, under any circumstances. I really, honestly would prefer to beg for food on a street corner. People who throw things at you seem to be more compassionate than Amazon is towards its employees.
