Amazon's Workforce Reality

This chapter explores the stark contrast between Amazon's corporate messaging and the actual working conditions of its employees, particularly those in warehouses. It highlights systemic inequities faced by predominantly black and brown workers, the monitoring of their labor, and the company's overwhelming influence on the job market. The discussion also critiques the broader implications of capitalism on worker welfare and examines the disconnect between Jeff Bezos's wealth and the realities of those sustaining the business.
