The injury rate of Amazon's warehouse employees is the highest in the industry[0]. Annual turnover is almost double that of the retail and logistics industries [1]. On top of that, as you note, the work sucks. I would call those conditions bad, and the turnover suggests that the pay is not sufficient to retain employees.

Why, exactly, is the pee bottle situation a "joke"?

Parent comment is referring to any crude joke or non-inspired replies regarding the peeing in bottles situation (which isn’t isolated to Amazon alone)

It has the worst results in the industry - most injuries, most turnover.

Where do you get these "better conditions" from?

Unions are usually a good starting point.
