I know this is an over simplification, but wouldn’t being unemployed be better than working for Amazon? They’re so over-the-top cruel to their employees, between piss bottles, tornado deaths, and now this?

I heard a while back there was a leaked internal memo Amazon was worried they might run out of workers since turnover is so high.

I guess some people dont mind/can tolerate those brutal conditions, so why would Amazon care to improve things?

Generally speaking, being able to afford food and shelter from the elements is much preferable than living under a bridge and starving. The former is much better for your baby as well.
