Amazon just gets held to some fictitious higher standard because ... well let's face it ... mostly because it's chic to hate on the perennial powerhouse team that succeeds too much, too often, for too long.
I've worked in environments (not ages ago either) that would make an Amazon warehouse seem like vacation with a payraise; and didn't hate those jobs.
Some people still labor. It's not horrifying; it just is.
