There are complaints about Amazon up and down the chain. As mentioned, the initial comment that started this wasn't about warehouse jobs specifically:

And in news reports I have heard about Amazon, even warehouse specific ones, they aren't about heat and cold. I remember complaints for what Amazon calls Time Off Task. Also complaints about inadequate safety equipment during the height of the pandemic. And Amazon has a history of firing employees that complain about working conditions. And of course, Amazon drivers peeing in bottles:
Amazon apologizes for denying that its drivers pee in bottles
I shop at Amazon and expect they are about as good or bad as any corporation of their size. But just because they are a convenient place for me to buy crap doesn't mean I will blindly defend everything they do, or think that words against them are being put out there by people with some unreasoned/unwarranted bias against the company.

While I think my paraphrasing was accurate, I will cop to being lazy in general
