Yes, I do think Amazon is held to pretty high standards. I have seen more outrage for people who won't work at Amazon complain about the work conditions at Amazon than the actual employees themselves. If your defense is that they might not want to then you need to check your moral high ground.
If Amazon does indeed engage in illegal behavior, then one should be hell bent on calling them out but the whole raging behavior at all times drains the emotional bank and when the actual crimes occur people don't have appetite for it.
- cycomanic 6y agoI don't think anyone is saying that what amazon is doing is necessarily illegal, one can still strongly disagree. And even if amazon is held to a higher standard (which is a big if), considering that they are by quite a margin the biggest player so what they do creates a signal to all other players about what is acceptable. Moreover with their profits they could afford to treat their employees well.
- uoaei 6y agoWhat people are (or at least, I am) saying is that yes this behavior is technically legal, and that's a problem for those who care about human dignity and the ideal of the social contract.
