Maybe they are the problem, not the wimpy guys.
A couple of years ago I read an article which was highly critical of Amazon. Not critical from the pov of their customers, who of course get A1 treatment, which is one of the reasons why the company has been so successful, but from the pov of the employees.
In essence it's run like a cult. I can't now recall any of the specific details which the writer used to make his case, but at the time I remember nodding in agreement.
Now, just for the sake of shooting the breeze, imagine if the arch-creep Pascotto & his ghastly mate Gallwey & their Motivational Training Company, had been retained by Amazon at some point to get the peons just lurrrving their poxy minimum wage jobs..........then who knows how a relationship like that might pan out, & to whose benefit.
I'm not saying that this is the case, just that it doesn't seem outlandish.

The scary thing is it is really hard to get the press to care about Rawat he is such a has been. Remember the Miami Dade College thing. I remember being absolutely dumbstruck that a leader in a college I had actually been to and had helped me to begin escaping the cult would support him. Here is this cult leader who really flat out STOLE college educations from so many of us, well, duped people into donating trust funds and giving up scholarships and the cult seemed to have the Eduardo guy in their pocket. It made me ill. Did the Miami Herald give a hoot? Nope. I don't think thats because the issue wasn't legitimate its just been too long since Rawat was well known. Frankly, when he kicks the bucket I would be suprised if his obit is in the press. Susan

Hi Susan, Amazon is a corporation that has one goal: making money. Period. I read a book by former Amazon employee, Mike Daisey, a self-described dillettant, titled 21 Dog Years, Doing Time at Amazon.com. I found it hilarious. Daisey's book is reviewed on the Amazon page below by "Customer Service @ Amazon" where Daisey's called a liar! LOL. Go figure.

Just a short while ago, I got this: Thank you for writing to us at Amazon.com.
Customer reviews are typically removed from the Amazon.com web site
for only two reasons: either the review was not within our
guidelines, or the author of the review requested its removal.
Due to our strict customer confidentiality policy, we can discuss
the status of any review only with the person who wrote the review.
I hope you will understand the importance of our security measures
despite any disappointment this may cause.
Thank you for shopping at Amazon.com.
Best regards,
Peter
Amazon.com Customer Service

which prompted what will likely be my final email to Amazon: Peter, You should be proud of your ability to say next to nothing at all in such self-satisfied tones. Perhaps you're paying me back for a time you unsuccessfully tried to return a lemon used car. Did they stonewall you then like you're doing me? I feel for you, Pete. That must have been very frustrating and, although of course it wasn't my fault, I do apologize that your shopping experience was even slightly disappointing. But then again, maybe I'm jumping the gun here. Maybe you're just a bit of software Amazon runs for pesky whiners like me, huh? If I invited you to my birthday party, would you be able to come, Pete? Or would I just get an e-card from the Amazon.com Customer Service program ("Pete" ? Relax, you don't have to answer that because, Pete, ol' pal, I'm sorry but there won't be any invitation. After all, even if you are a real person it's clear that we'd have nothing much to talk about. You'd just end up sitting on your hands in the corner nervously wondering if Amazon company policy allowed you to have a piece of cake and a small glass of coke. I wouldn't do that to you, Pete. Not after all we've been through, you and I. Anyway, I guess I'll have to turn elsewhere to pursue this. Thanks for all your help. Best regards and yes, you're most welcome for my shopping at Amazon.com, Jim
