One thing I think is missing in this write-up is the element of autonomy. Yes, it's undeniably degrading that Amazon employees piss in bottles to make sure they meet their quotas. But: they aren't forced to take that job, or to piss in bottles (notwithstanding that getting fired often comes with serious consequences).

And I fully understand that putting food on the table (especially when it's for your kids) and putting a roof over your family's head is important, and needing to satisfy those needs is much easier than adhering to principles of not being subjugated, demeaned, and degraded. "Do I take the shitty Amazon job or do we move a few hundred miles in hopes of a better life" is a tough decision.

Hard problem. No easy solutions.
