Bad jobs play an important role in an economy. They provide a high turn-over, relatively easy to acquire job that you can get when you have trouble finding proper work. So you can provide for yourself while looking for a good job. If the job didn't suck it wouldn't have the turn-over and availability.
Once we eliminate the need for employment to provide the basics then shitty jobs will go away. Until then they have a place.
- johnvschmitt 13y agoTrue, but there will always be tons of "inherently bad" jobs (smelly, sweaty, monotonous). It is unnecessary to make these jobs MORE shitty by bad management. For example, the worst thing IMO that Walmart does (IDK about Amazon), is to mandate that employees be on call 24x7 to be ready to come in for a shift on short notice (3 hours). This cripples the worker from taking on a 2nd job, school, or anything else. This traps them into the Walmart job & makes this not an entry level job.
- conorh 13y agoSure, however in the US there are already huge number of terrible low paid jobs. The balance of jobs is not right as it stands. I believe that Amazon has the resources to provide better jobs and should do so.
