Great reporting, thanks. It’s hard to understand the motivation of companies like this that blatantly steal from workers. It’s harder to understand given that when they are forced to give the money back, the consequences are so insignificant.

I think it must be noted that the Amazon executives who did this are deeply immoral human beings. Something is wrong with him as people. They have twisted values.

I used to own a plastic recycling factory, and I can tell you one thing right now. If anyone had ever stolen from my workers that way, I would have fired them on the spot the moment I discovered the theft. No questions asked, no appeal. And I would have provided negative references for anyone who asked me about hiring them. (Yes, my HR people would have counseled me not to do that but I would have done it anyway, because morality actually matters to me.)

The fact that Amazon allows executives to work for them who think stealing from workers is okay speaks to something being deeply wrong with Amazon as a corporation.

In the meantime, according to reporting in the Guardian, Amazon is going to enormous lengths to stop a labor union in one of its warehouses, using tactics that are questionably legal.

This despite the fact that Amazon is experiencing soaring and record profits. This again demonstrates that the people who run Amazon are deeply immoral with terrible human values.
