No one considers Amazon engineers "subhuman" - if that is your perception then all I can say is I think you need to seek therapy for your depression because no one should have to feel like that.

We clearly are - we didn't go to the Olympics, don't have free massages at work or even free first class travel to Hawaii like Googlers do - no unlimited external validation, etc and I make as much as a new grad at other companies. I have literally nothing to show for my hard work. Nothing.

This reads like satire, but on the off-chance you're serious, you need to reframe your perspective. Consider the lives of Amazon warehouse workers, to take the most obvious example. Maybe therapy can help with this.

Or mediation. OP seems to be blind to what they have.
