In the comments section, viewers speculated Amazon might fire the employee for filming her work environment.

“You probably going [to] get fired, but great walk thru,” one commenter wrote.

“This video was cool and all but I’ve seen so many Amazon workers post videos and then get fired,” another warned Tyara.

“You’re definitely gonna get fired for this video but I enjoyed it !!” a third commented.

Amazon’s treatment of employees has been a topic of much conversation. The company has become notorious for union-busting and trying to silence workers who speak out against poor working conditions.
