Hmm, an interesting idea.
It is his money. What I'm confused about is before this you guys are all like "jobs jobs jobs!" and then when I bring it up this way you say "well it's their choice to work for him". Strange.
I think that there should be laws prohibiting companies from treating their workers the way that Amazon does. It is cruel, unethical, and seems like it should be illegal, and it surprises me every time to hear that it's not.
Here are some of the things that they do:
1. The warehouses are over a mile across at certain points. Employees are only allowed bathroom brakes of 10 minutes once every day (or at least last time I checked), and there is only one bathroom in the entire warehouse. You can probably imagine that you would have to walk an extremely long distance to get to one.
2. They do not give maternity leave, and do not allow women to take work off when they are pregnant. The same bathroom rules apply to pregnant women.
3. After a man was crushed by a piece of faulty machinery, Amazon still refused to require workers to wear safety equipment when operating machines, and often don't even provide it at all.
4. Water fountains are also scarce, and are located in sometimes very inconvenient locations. Employees must only get water from water fountains while on their 10 minute break. Employees are not allowed to bring a water bottle instead.
5. A few years ago a woman fainted on the job due to several reasons, one being dehydration, another being lack of AC in the warehouse. Her managers thought that she was faking it and refused to bring her to a hospital, and she nearly died. Once the manager realized that it WAS serious she was given water and was resuscitated, but right after she was told to "get back to work". Amazon got hundreds of complaints from this, and even a few lawsuits, but in the end never apologized and the manager wasn't fired.
Here is some more information on the subject:
