I've never worked for Amazon and have even avoided them because of news like this.

However, now I wonder if it's all overblown, just like other shit in the media.

Surely, no one in their right mind would work in such conditions. It could be decent or at least acceptable.

Wonder how it compares to a small company where your manager watches everything you do and yells at you for a typo.



I know a small company CEO who had Internet connected CCTV, complete with audio, installed in the office following a break-in and theft.

His COO later stopped taking meetings in the office because the CEO would sometimes sit and watch and listen in to the office from home.


Simple, they pay a little more. The problem is they’re running out of people to churn through they get rid of people so fast


I'm manager at a small company. We don't have time for that shit.
