I do really think its true that Amazon won't change as long as it has cattle to prod. Although people voting with their feet and leaving the company has a cost so not sure the demographics are in Amazon's favor long term. I do know they are looking to automate their warehouse operations to max extent possible as I was recruited a few months back to join their construction management team for warehouse operations and they were talking about 10 story warehouses, just basically ten story tall shelf racks inside a giant shell and serviced by flying drone robots picking out order stock. Folks thought that flying drone stuff was about deliveries, and maybe some was, but was for decreasing warehouse worker need.
