What a surprise. Treat workers like shit and they will not want to work for you.
Then push it up to a scale that Amazon works at, and it becomes clear that this isn't a sustainable strategy. Throughout a working year, they go through 1.5x the workforce. It's insane. Imagine abusing your employees so much that more than 100% leave every year and then some, and just declaring it a business strategy.
I wonder to what degree a recession would alleviate this problem, at least for a time, as workers become more desperate for work. It do hope that Amazon faces consequences for it's abysmal treatment of its workers.
