  Why would anyone ever work there. Every time I have gotten hit up by their recruiters, I kindly tell them that I could never work for a place so hostile to employees.

    The majority of their employees are in warehouses. They have more than 1 million employees. Most people don’t have options, even white collar workers are outmatched in the employment relationship when they depend on income to survive month to month. Few are those who have the relativve luxury of employer political alignmnet.

    People can barely feed themselves. The federal minimum wage hasn’t gone up in 19 fucking years. Think about the implications of that in a high inflation environment. That is work for no pay essentially.

    Because they pay well and most of the corporate side has good benefits and perks.

  I’m happy I don’t work there anymore. I joined right before the layoff craze and between the horrible oncall nights and layoffs that was one of the more stressful experiences of my life.

    Would it even matter anymore? It could be “we hate you, piss off! Amazon” and everyone would still shop there.
