Amazon has been criticized for the poor working conditions its workers are subjected to in the warehouses, which have resulted in injuries — issues with nerves, muscles and joints — causes by overworking, added stress and sub-par conditions and infrastructure. Here's how Jassy addressed it in his first letter to shareholders as company CEO.
Key Details
- Jassy said he spent time with safety teams but couldn't find a "silver bullet" that could reduce serious accidents and deaths in the warehouses.

- Shares of the company went down by one percent on Thursday at 9:55 AM in New York.
