Amazon has committed the "sin of success", so they're in the spotlight. Criticisms of Amazon make sense when viewed as criticisms of laws and incentives all business operate under.

Then how is it that I consistently hear about how Costco treats its employees phenomenally? Amazon's revenue surpassed Costco's in 2016, so if it is merely success that gets criticized Costco should have been similarly before that point. But that's not the case, and both Amazon and Costco have had their current reputations for much longer than that.

Costco is certainly the exception.

You could alternatively compare to McDonald's?

Pepsi?

Facebook?
