Or in other words: If you get paid more than average, then you are expected to work more and or better than average. No Amazon is not the norm, they strive to have higher expectations than the norm.

No, I'm reacting to the data that I have. The data that I have report that Amazon is not a good place to work. Based on what the reports say, it's far beyond some kids right out of school, not knowing that you are expected to put in a full day's work for a full day's wage. Once again, most of these type of jobs compete for the same group of workers. If the issue is the workers, one would see the same sort of reports about all the companies in the job category. I don't see that. The baggers at my local Publix seem quite happy and cheerful and quite a few look to be high school age. There doesn't seem to be a lot of turnover at that particular store either, which is a pretty good rule of measure for how happy people are working there.
Are there a lot of kids just out of school who don't know what's expected on a job? Sure, quite a lot. That's why so many companies look for people who have 1 year experience. Of course, the bottom rung of workers isn't just made of kids right out of high school. It's made up of a wide range of people. Some people are on the low end of the bell curve and unable to do higher skill jobs, some are people looking for seasonal part time jobs or second jobs (once worked with a lady who had a second job as a waitress in a Chinese restaurant, she was from Thailand. I knew this because I ate there once and she asked me not to tell our boss [I didn't, of course]), some are people just looking to get back in the work force for some reason.
