- danudey 1y agoWhether you're in the tech industry or the warehouse, everything I've heard about Amazon is that they work you as hard as they possibly can until you burn out and then they replace you with someone new. At least on the tech side you get options though.
- thimkerbell 1y agoAn honest answer that you didn't consider yourself to be lucky used to be a no-hire dealbreaker for Anazon. I wonder if their emigrés still view themselves as lucky.

- johnnyanmac 1y agoYeah, It's an infamous strategy. Rotate out staff so and maximize turnover to minimize pay and potential uprisings. It ran into the problem that workers are in fact a finite resource. And of course that at some point the juice ain't worth the squeeze. People aren't going to do part time work being ground to death and still not be able to pay rent. At least ridesharing and delivery is done on and around your own schedule
