• Some Amazon tech workers say they are ashamed of the working conditions of the company's warehouse workers.
• The tech workers are openly sharing words of encouragement to those warehouse employees, who are planning on a short strike during Amazon Prime Day.
• The striking workers want better pay, more reasonable work expectations, and better chances for advancement.
• Amazon says it already provides all of this to them.
• However, warehouse workers tell a different side of the story: They talk about the constant pressure to perform and how the company's automated systems track them, and can even automatically target them to get fired.

A group of Amazon's tech workers are openly supporting the planned strike by Amazon warehouse workers in Shakopee, Minnesota, next week during the online retailer's Prime Day shopping event.

Some of them will even be flying out to walk the picket line and give speeches during the strike, Amazon Employees for Climate Justice, the employee activist group organizing this show of support, said.
