Amazon warehouse workers 'peed in bottles' fearing punishment for taking breaks

Sad to see this post downvoted when it seems obvious.

If you work for Amazon as a developer make this issue known. Few people have as much power to impact the company as a group of developers - we all know what a pain in the ass it is to hire.

I'd never work at Amazon knowing how it treats its workers. Given the market we're in I don't get why others would - if you work for Amazon you should be able to jump ship for another good company.

Part of what they’re so highly compensated for is also to turn a blind eye to the poor people who suffer under these conditions, to ignore the abuse that undergirds their work.

I don't think they compensate so much better than other similar companies. Their vesting cycle sucks too.
