If you have not read it already I recommend reading The Guardian article - http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/dec/01/week-amazo....

One quote from it that stands out for me: "At the Neath working men's club down the road, one of the staff tells me that Amazon is "the employer of last resort". It's where you get a job if you can't get a job anywhere else. And it's this that's so heartbreaking."

There was another previous thread on Hacker News where people compared Amazon warehouse workers to Costco workers. I wish Amazon could be more like Costco in regards to their warehouse workers (I don't shop at Amazon any more for that reason).
