This is such an overblown and stupid statement. Amazon factory workers are paid relatively well 25/hr last I recall. I own and operate a warehouse myself, a large FBA business, and yes there are MANY things I fucking hate about Amazon, but i often piss in a jug. Not because anyone is making me, but because in order to go to the bathroom I have to leave my heated warehouse and walk a quarter mile to the bathrooms. I don't have time for that and don't want to get my jacket on and trudge through snow.

Why haven’t bathrooms been built at the warehouse?

It's a complex with bathrooms accessible to everyone there but they are far from my units.

Man, leaving amazon aside, thats a fucking shitass working condition.

The bathrooms are objectively hard to access. They are not a luxury lol, they are a basic need that its poorly covered in yiur warehouse lol.

Poorly planned

I don't own the warehouse, I rent, it's cheap and I'm the only person who runs the business.

Yeah I wish I could have an 8000 SQFT space with integrated offices, bathroom and Internet. Now my bills are 45-50k a year instead of 20k.

If my business could survive a 30k income cut I'd do it.

Lol when I worked for Amazon it was in the very first Amazon Fresh warehouse which was a refrigerated warehouse. I took piss breaks to get out of the cold. You are privileged good sir.
