Yeah the bottom line is that Amazon has made no efforts whatsoever to make their fulfillment centers even vaguely human. It's pretty clear that they don't expect the humans to be there very long so they're using them to the nth degree for so long as they have to keep paying salaries. "Rank and yank" is one thing if you're talking about managerial employees or tellers or people who work in an office. It's quite another when you're talking about itinerant homeless drifting from hookup to hookup and working for not-quite-long-enough to catch up on the medical bills they incurred at their last stint working for Amazon.
