*[Enwl-eng] Jeff Bezos's employees are struggling, but he brags about 8 hours of sleep each night

[ENWL]

            Jeff Bezos just laid out his secrets to success. Surprise: 
they're all things he doesn't allow his overworked, abused employees to do.

                  Oh great, Jeff Bezos wrote a book. In it, he regails us 
with his immense wisdom as the CEO of Amazon.com — including how he's 
achieved his great success by following simple daily practices, such as 
sleeping at least 8 hours a night, keeping most of his work confined to 
morning hours, and clocking out religiously at 5pm every day. This advice 
about work-life balance might be beautiful if it weren't for the fact that 
Bezos makes it impossible for his Amazon employees to follow it. This 
discrepancy makes his "secret tips" even more infuriating.

                  Before the pandemic hit, Jeff Bezos was already worth an 
astounding $73 billion. During the crisis, his worth has more than doubled 
to upwards of $200 billion. No wonder he sleeps so well at night! But his 
warehouse employees have seen their fortunes go in the opposite direction. 
Before the pandemic, they were already struggling so badly under 
producitvity demands, they had to wear adult diapers and urinate in bottles 
at their workstations. Since then, the conditions have only gotten worse as 
Amazon sales have skyrocketed — all on the backs of abused, exploited staff. 
Yet Jeff Bezos expects us to all swoon over his cozy, privileged best 
practices? Save the self-aggrandizing "wisdom," Jeff. Pay your workers! Sign 
the petition to demand justice for Amazon's beleagurered employees.

                  Thank you for all that you do,

                         Miranda B.

                  P.S. Bezos gets to have breakfast every morning with his 
kids. His employees are forced to put in constant overtime in warehouses 
that have suffered from COVID outbreaks. Tell Jeff Bezos to provide his 
employees with the work-life balance he boasts about and treat them like the 
real human beings they are.
