I have no idea whether this story is real or not, given it is on a subreddit called "antiwork". But if true, that just sounds offensively miserable, unfair, and unprofessional. Rather that dissecting all those issues though, all I will say is that I wish we had more competition for these behemoth companies. They soak up so much of our economy that there can't be real competition against them. What scrappy retailer is going to have a chance against Amazon, who has their own marine shipping lines or whatever? What we need is stronger anti-trust legislation that is aggressively enforced. Or maybe a corporate income tax that is higher for companies with > $100B market capitalization. That way others can compete and provide an a better alternative, whether for workers or customers.
