Despite all the bad press, an Amazon warehouse worker job is still one of the better jobs you can get, at that level of employability.

- thedaemon 7y agoNo.
- gridlockd 7y agoOkay, then why aren't all these workers quitting their hated jobs in droves? Why would they care if they get fired, when they can just get another, even better job? If there were better jobs readily available to them, then Amazon would have no power over these workers.
- SolaceQuantum 7y ago"Why would they care if they get fired, when they can just get another, even better job?" Have you considered... they cannot get an 'even better job'? I highly recommend reading "Hustle and Gig: Struggling and Surviving in the Sharing Economy". It details the lives of people working at TaskRabbit, Uber, AirBnB, and KitchenSurfing. It might also help explain the choices of why people are taking 'bad work' (that there isn't 'better work'.)
