A lot of Amazon warehouse workers wear blue safety vests or uniforms depending on role and location. The criticism you’re referring to is usually about warehouse pace and labor expectations under Jeff Bezos and Amazon’s fulfillment system.

People who criticize Amazon often point to:

* strict scan-rate quotas,
* long shifts on foot,
* heavy monitoring,
* limited downtime,
* repetitive injuries,
* and workers feeling replaceable.

Supporters counter that:

* Amazon pays more than many warehouse competitors,
* offers benefits and tuition programs,
* and employs hundreds of thousands of people.

The “overworked” reputation mostly came from:

* worker testimonies,
* labor union efforts,
* investigative reporting,
* and stories about intense fulfillment-center conditions during peak periods like holidays or Prime Day.
