Well bezos doesn’t believe in pee breaks, or leaning against anything to take a moment to breathe between shift action points, so if you’re never gonna sit, lean, or potty, it should be fine. I mean, you’ll never have time to read from it, but still

I see what you're saying, but Bezos hasn’t run Amazon day-to-day since 2021, Andy Jassy has been CEO since then. Warehouse policies and break rules aren’t his to set anymore.

And he definitely doesn't have anything to do with the Kindles now.

Except raking in the profits

Lots of people rake in profits from Kindles. Designers, builders, writers, editors, sellers, etc. None of that bothers me. Few people work on things that don't generate profits.
