>With all the stories there has been published over the years about Amazon warehouse working condition "slave camp" is the term that springs to my mind when I hear the word Amazon.
Have you considered that it might be propaganda? Correct me if I'm wrong, but all the employees choose to work at Amazon, right? What are the other jobs like, if people still choose Amazon over the alternatives?
- thisisjustmine 6y agoAmazon has been systematically destroying local businesses preventing any alternatives. So low skill workers that used to work for smaller local stores involved in the community now have to work for the replacement. I would bet if there was an alternative people would prefer higher quality of life and pay over the scraps Amazon is willing to share.
- tracer4201 6y agoWhich local businesses does Amazon destroy? That’s a pretty wild accusation. I just visited several places last year before COVID. Pretty much all the businesses that hire warehouse skilled workers are still there. As a matter of fact, most of those places still pay the actual federal minimum wage, not $15/hr with benefits. This comment you’ve made is propaganda at best and an intentional lie at worst.
