I think although this article is somewhat critical of amazon warehouses it still reads as too "even handed". Nobody knew my name and my basic medical needs took a back seat to the work, which could unexpectedly come in huge quantities whenever managers wanted, but I just loved the packing! What great exercise! However, I think if it was any more critical it couldnt make the rounds on something like business insider. The sad part is many will probably take away that if youre a healthy guy thats depressed you should work (be a worm) for amazon - which should not be the message.

I didn’t read it that way in the slightest. The only conclusions you should draw from the piece are! (1) enforced exercise and routine are good for depression, (2) Amazon provides these, (3) your humanity does not matter to Amazon, and (4) Amazon will quickly destroy your body and not provide the accommodations they are required to by law and hen automatically fire you when your physical capacity fails.
