A man worth over $100 billion, who makes, on average,
$230,000 per minute calling on the public to help his own impoverished employees was not met well by many. Amazon itself is worth over
$1 trillion, and some felt Bezos himself was in a better position than others, especially members of the public also economically hit by the COVID-19 pandemic, to help his own staff. Furthermore, the company is notorious as a bad employer. Forced to forego bathroom breaks, many company warehouse workers are effectively compelled to
wear diapers during their shifts. Other employees
report working in unsafe environments and being punished for injuries sustained on the job. The company also
does not provide its employees with regular access to clean water.
