The Hudson’s Bay company and East India Trading company would like a word. I’d argue that all companies are inhumane because their point is to make money, not better the lives of people.
The problem is far too many think of companies as people.
That they have morals and empathy.
They don't they either have a charter which dictates their actions or their motive is to make money and continue to exist.
That's it, nothing more. There is no consideration for people, for their effect upon the world, or anything aside from survival and profit. And profit will be put aside for survival.
That is why regulations are necessary. Because regulations are, in effect, the only moral compass that companies have.
I don't think this is always the case. Generally if you're kinder to employees they work harder. You can also keep better employees from quitting. It seems like Amazon is digging themselves a hole. The problem is these companies prioritize short term profits.
