Racing around a hot warehouse for miles a day while a handheld device counts down the seconds before you risk losing your job while you try to hold it in because you can't afford a bathroom break does not sound like a good blue collar job to me.
It's dehumanizing.

- Kye 7y ago"This is normal" is a long way from "this is okay." Don't mistake frustration at the status quo for ignorance about the status quo.
- BurningFrog 7y agoSounds like you actually do "see physical labor as hell" as I semi jokingly suggested. Or is it maybe all employment work? [I'm only 1/4 sarcastic and 3/4 actually curious.]
- smabie 7y agoPeople consider coal mining to be a good blue collar job, and I bet it's 100x worse.
- Kye 7y agoCoal mine owners also abuse their employees for profit, but this is about Amazon.
- lonelappde 7y agoIf the worst thing you can say about a job is that you might lose it, maybe it's a good job -- probably the best job. They aren't trapped in a farm in a company town getting ripped off by the company store where they can't leave for 3months. They aren't visa hostages. It seems your criticism of Amazon should be leveled at every single other employer offering worse.
- Kye 7y agoSounds like a good idea. This time the discussion is about Amazon.
