I haven't worked in one owned by Amazon, but I've worked in a warehouse. As far as I know most of them are about 50C warmer than the ones I worked in, as far as I know, there's no 80kg amazon packages frozen at -25C so I'd say they have it pretty easy.

That warehouse certainly didn't have robots to bring us our packages for scanning by laser gun either.

Did any of your colleagues die of overworking?

When I was there the only death was at another warehouse, dude ended up with a fork lift fork through his chest.

Friend of the family mopped of a colleague after a barrel of acid dropped from the top rack and split at the top of the forklift cab.
