Amazon seems to be doing alright regardless.

I know a lot of engineers that work for Amazon that are happy. Warehouse workers on the other hand...

It's just one random data point but one of my personal friends said: «I still have many friends & family working in Amazon fulfillment centers across the country, and every single one of them says it’s the best job they’ve ever had.» https://twitter.com/chadloder/status/1154275824951943168
