The image is actually true. Except for how it represents one person (Jeff Bezos) as one person, and it represents all workers as one person. Each one of those many workers receives an absolute sliver of the "water." The drips going to Bezos in the image are massive using an appropriate comparison.

No it's not, if you look at the actual numbers workers get close to nothing even if you count all of them as one person in todays mega cooperations

Amazon is a ridiculously frugal organization. Unfortunately, that permeates absolutely everything they do, including pay.
-
All those fatcat warehouse workers, earning 15 dollars an hour, not being able to afford housing and food.

NGL the original image doesn't really make much sense, the drip would likely just run along the edge to where the water is flowing out and also end up in the mouth of the dude in the chair.

I have a friend that started working at Amazon recently and he said it is actually some of the best working conditions that he has experienced. He came from working in keitches so anything is better than that.

I have actually heard conflicting accounts on what it is like, so I think it honestly depends on who the warehouse manager is. Of course that could change it any moment so it's probably still best to avoid the company.

I agree for only because their pay is so low and they only allow part time. I try not to support Amazon as much as possible.

The employing company's owner indirectly legally appropriates the positive and negative results of it, which the employees are jointly de facto responsible for. This is a violation of the moral principle that legal and de facto responsibility should match.
The claim that the employer has a right to these fruits of the employees' labor based on the risk they take on is tautological. Assuming the risk means appropriating the negative fruits.
Worker coops can give non-voting shares to investors

Except fewer people of the younger generation are able to buy into a 401k. People with a 401k don't really represent workers. And workers are at risk because they can be fired when stock goes down or doesn't go up as hoped. Workers can lose their entire job while Bezos loses what is effectively a few numbers to someone of that wealth. Obviously the big CEOs aren't taking home profits as cash, because then it would be easier to tax.
