Misplaced Outrage

As the spouse of an Amazon employee, I find these stories mostly accurate but the undertone of outrage misplaced. Amazon is a tough place to work, both for valid reasons but also mainly because of the politics. It is not a lifetime employer. This is not a secret so no one should fool themselves into thinking they can last there through honest hard work. 

If you are willing and able to hold out for as long as you can, Amazon is a place you where you will learn skills that you can take with you wherever you go afterward. Knowing when it is ideal to pull the cord on the parachute and find a new job is one of those skills. It is likely that in the long term the Amazon corporate culture will be its own doom.
