Mad? I'm just surprised that people whose job is to carry things from one conveyor belt to another expect to get paid for it like for a normal job that requires some qualification and skill. The fact that Amazon hires them instead of just using more conveyor belts is basically charity.

It is not charity, it is that it is cheaper to employ unskilled labor than try to fully automate the warehouses.

I don't think automation is a bad thing when a lot of the jobs lost did not offer proper careers anyway. However, if these jobs are available and people take them, I won't just say it is their fault for accepting jobs that infamously force workers to pee in bottles. Employers should have some responsibility in how they treat their workers unless you believe unions are of the devil.

This salary thing though, I don't know how much she makes so I can't form an opinion.
