All of this discussion brings me to the Stanford Prison Experiment

In such hierarchical systems, the issue goes beyond abuse itself, bringing deinvidualization and loss of personal identity.

That partially explains why some workers won't leave the company even for a similar/higher salary.

My thoughts exactly: which one is true? A) Amazon is a kind of narcissistic codependency/Stockholm syndrome environment; B) the "horror" stories are exaggerated; C) the job is so cool that people are willing to take some abuse; D) there is other reason as to why Amazon succeeds.
