It’s true that one facility can’t account for others. I’d be curious to see real evidence all around the globe for the god awful treatment you read about. It just really is hard to believe after having worked there with seeing the utmost respect all around for the most part and safety pushed like a motherfucker (annoyingly so honestly). The complaints I was always involved in were lazy fellow coworkers and wanting more pay. I’m around $40/hr right now and still want more pay. You should always want more pay. You should also work your way up to it. Amazon provides tons of tools for educating yourself and leaving the company to head to an entirely different field. That’s what I did. If you’re going to be a replaceable baseline employee you need to treat it like a stepping stone and use everything they provide and leave. Or work your way up in the company and become irreplaceable.
Yeah I get it we all want a fluffy, soft wonderful place to live in, but if you’re working a job that basically requires zero training, you are replaceable by default, and a robot will be taking over in the future. In some cases they already have. The one I worked at they had two giant, robotic arms that built pallets of totes and wrapped them. Four years ago.
When you work at Amazon you have a shit load of coworkers.
how much of amazon consists of one’s coworkers

workers shouldn’t be replacable in the first place

i didn’t say they weren’t replacable
I think the kbin/lemmy interaction is malfunctioning.

Where I’m at I don’t even know what a livable wage is anymore. Hopefully enough people strike and that is what happens and they raise the pay.
