I choose instead to rely on my 3+ decades of experience in manual labor positions to form my opinions of Amazon's "horrible" working conditions. Nothing I've seen/read has yet convinced me that an Amazon warehouse employee has it any worse/better than any other non-union factory/warehouse worker in America. And nothing has convinced me that their treatment should be better simply because Amazon is bigger and wildly successful.
Actually, I worked in warehouses and factories a couple times in my 20s, and I was also a temp. The working conditions weren't nearly as bad as what everyone is attributing to Amazon. Perhaps you should know where of you speak before making ad hominem attacks?

Furthermore, I reported on that video with no criticism because I could not come up with a critique that didn't come across as fanboyish hostility.

Your comment here, for example, is what i tried to avoid.
