One-click patent
'''Patents have been useful when it comes to being a big company, especially with Amazon. Amazon has made so many packages regarding to the patents and it just makes it seem like Amazon has been on top of their stuff ever since they have created the patents.'''

Patents are some things useful that Amazon would like to continue for its' consumers to use and also to see how they are distributed.

Marketplace participant and owner
'''Amazon, with their specific marketplaces in order, is facing a tough road with how they are responding to people. as being an owner in the marketplace they represent as well as being the leading retail seller.'''

Most people find Amazon to be rather successful in being one of the leading retail sellers and an active marketplace participant for people to shop at as well as seeing what prices they offer on some items they sell on their website, too.

The thing is with Amazon, they have to stay on top of whatever is being produced and what specific price they are listing items they are producing, otherwise, people may just stop buying from them and that will cause Amazon to go down the drain.

'''The way Amazon gets people to buy the products they sell online is they have to pin a certain price point on the products that are offered on the website. Amazon is a leading company as an owner and marketplace participant with people viewing Amazon the way in that Amazon is a big company and has many successful products they offer on their website, too.'''

Direct Selling
Amazon has been known for not allowing some publishers to do their "direct selling" discounts on their own websites, but most publishers are allowed to "direct sell" things on Amazon's website.

Look at what Amazon in the United Kingdom is doing as an example, they are not allowing publishers to "directly sell" at a discount on the publishers' websites because of what is leading to this.

Amazon argued that the publishers offering lower prices for items on their own websites, Amazon is saying they should be able to give those publishers the money that they wish to have when selling items for a lower price on their own websites.

However, not many publishers are agreeing with this and they are still making discounts on their own websites because of what Amazon is trying to argue and trying to get the publishers what they would want when they would need it.

Employee Mismanagement
There seems to be talks and discussions referring to how Amazon as a whole keeps mistreating or mismanaging the way the employees are being managed or treated at the company.

Amazon is firing those employees who are on medical leave when they are not able to show up due to those certain employees being on medical leave for a number of reasons, but Amazon still finds a way to get rid of those employees and it is not fair for the employees to have to go through this.

'''Amazon needs to change the way the employees are being managed and how to stop firing those employees if they are on medical leave. Once an employee is fired from Amazon due to them being on medical leave for the reasons they decide to not disclose to the company, the management at Amazon will have to make no other choice but to fire them.'''

Having employees being mistreated for such reasons is not what Amazon is known for, yet, the managing department at Amazon decides that it is okay to fire those employees or mismanage/mistreat those employees for what they have done within the company.

'''There is also another issue going on inside the company: the inaccuracy of the payroll system. The payroll system at Amazon has been known to be inaccurate, and the employees working there seem to go under-paid for months on end because of Amazon not fixing the payroll system, and the employees are losing more of money just for the payroll they are earning to be inaccurate and Amazon does not fix it until it is absolutely necessary, or they do not have time to fix it and wait for months until they realize that they have to fix it or otherwise the employees will become annoyed at the company.'''

'''Denying unpaid leaves is another issue that is happening at Amazon. Amazon will rightfully and deliberately deny unpaid leaves from employees because they think that is necessary even though the employees have unpaid leave time, the company still decides to deny the employees of doing such a thing and thus making it seem like the employees who have asked for unpaid leave to work more in the company and less time off due to one reason or another that the employees may have for taking time off and the employees are frustrated with the decisions that Amazon has made toward the issue of denying (deliberately) the opportunities for employees to leave unpaid.'''

'''If it is such a big issue between denying unpaid leaves for employees and also the mistreatment/mismanagement of the employees, why is Amazon not doing anything to fix it? Amazon will wait for weeks and weeks to decide whether they should have accepted the unpaid leaves or fix their mistakes by first fixing the inaccuracies of the payroll system. Not fixing the payroll system and denying the employees of unpaid leave will only leave the employees to leave the company and not come back until Amazon fixes their issues and the issues they have done are annoying to the employees and the employees do not want to have to be there when they ask for unpaid leave which is not fair to the employees. If the employees ask for unpaid leave, the Amazon management should respect that and not just deny them for wanting to take unpaid leave.'''
