I understand that you may think that $2k/year is very little, but to many people it's a small fortune. Anyway, why do you think it's necessary to deflect attention from their working conditions? Warehouses aren't the most comfortable working environments in any case, that should not be surprising. Not everything can be a nice air conditioned office.
I agree that $2,000 is a decent chunk of change, but as has been pointed out by others the hoops to jump through to get the $2,000 excludes a huge quantity of Amazon's workforce. So again, Amazon gets good PR, while conditions and compensation for much of their workforce stays the same.
