Few businesses show the skewed dynamics between employer and employees as clearly as Amazon. To understand why the relationship between employer and employee is so severely screwed, we have to look to capitalism. Instead, they depend on wages (set and controlled by the employer) as compensation for the work they produce. Employers’ decisions shape major aspects of employees’ lives, both at work and away from it. Capitalist employers often distribute them as top executives’ salary and stock option packages, dividend payouts, buying back their company’s shares, and so on.
