Personnaly, the COVID episode is the final straw. I live in France rural area. Amazon brings huge benefits and comodities there but I can't stand their attitude towards employees anymore.
- jason0597 6y agoShouldn't French Amazon employees be safe due to French labour laws?
- pauletienney 6y agoActually most of stories that influenced my decision are from US: employees fired by algorythm, fired because trying to unionize, etc. It seems all of this is impossible in France but still, this is not a culture I want to support.
- koheripbal 6y ago...but what if your impression is just based upon the bubble of news you consume? Isn't it possible you, from France, don't get unbiased news about US companies?
- pauletienney 6y agoI consume a lot of news from US and France on a quite large political spectrum, so I think the bias is quite reduced. I also discussed with an Amazon french warehouse manager. My decision is cold and well thought. Btw I would love to be wrong because I will miss their services.
- koheripbal 6y agoThe base salary in the warehouse is $15 per hour in the US, and similarly higher than average in France. It's a bit odd that the one retailer than meets the most aggressively demanded Progressive goal, seems to be the target of near-daily attack articles. It's almost as if there's something else going on with all this anti-Amazon news... isn't there?
- pauletienney 6y agoExcuse me but what do you mean with "It's a bit odd that the one retailer than meets the most aggressively demanded Progressive goal" ? real question.
