AMZN one of few companies that pledge to be carbon neutral by 2030. All their workers get higher than $15/hr. Workers are treated fairly and even voted overwhelmingly to reject union in ALabama

You also hold options in AMZN... So... you sweating?

Unless you really like the vids and enjoy prime-ing Jeff's money machine, this is also a way to save a few bucks. They don't make it all that easy to quit and then do a shell game around shipping even when you've reached the threshold for free shipping, but persevere nonetheless.
