You worked in a fast food chain. Now imagine if you would have thought it was just as “fun” working in an Amazon Warehouse or being an Amazon driver with strict quotas.

And yes this really happens. My (step)son who worked directly for Amazon - not a third party contractor verified it.
Before you ask how do I know he worked directly for Amazon both times, he showed up in the internal employee directory (PhoneTool) when I worked at AWS.

- monero-xmr 2y agoHundreds of thousands of people work in Amazon warehouses. It isn’t analogous to a sweatshop or a plantation. They pay well for low skilled labor with good benefits. Here is an Econtalk episode about what working for Wal Mart is actually like, from someone who worked there, and why people prefer working there than the worshipped “mom and pops” https://www.econtalk.org/platt-on-working-at-wal-mart/ https://www.econtalk.org/platt-on-working-at-wal-mart/
