I wish we had a #MeToo for horrible corporate environments. Amazon is an atrocious place to work at, and even though I'm no fan of cancel culture, if any case begs for naming and shaming, it's got to be this one. There are people that make these decisions. Amazon isn't some "monolith" where no one has free will. That argument didn't work for WW2 Nazi guards, so why should it work here? "Just following orders" isn't good enough.
I've been approached dozens of times by Amazon -- by recruiters, but even by hiring managers -- and I'm sure I'd get paid a ton. But I could never morally justify working for such a garbage company in 1000 years.
- Igelau 5y agoI have to say I agree. There's only so much catharsis to be had from writing a nasty-yet-deniable review on Glassdoor and like. I was fired for over-competence at a real crab bucket and it still messes with me.
- Ekaros 5y agoI honestly can't feel bad about employees of this level in Amazon. They are very well compensated. That doesn't mean I don't find issues with lower levels like warehouse and drivers work.
