"Worse Than Wal-Mart"

Similar to the previous reading, the article "Worse Than Wal-Mart," points out the negative aspects of large corporations. The author, Simon Head, argues that Amazon is one of the most abusive businesses around, an issue that many individuals are unaware of. Despite all of their false advertisement about trust and care for both their customers and employees, there is actually a harmful reality behind closed doors. Head writes, "Amazon's customers are principally valued by the corporation as mainstays of the bottom line, and not as vehicles for the fulfillment of personals relationships ... Amazon treats a second significant grouping of men and women with whom it has dealings-its employees- with the very opposite of care and trust." Amazon completely mistreats their employees in various ways that are unacceptable for a professional corporation. Overall, Amazon- like Wal-Mart- is very unprofessional when dealing with other individuals and they do not handle their interactions in a businesslike fashion whatsoever.
