Ha. You’ve never worked on a real farming operation. I know men who would say to this, “but it’s air conditioned?”
And this description is also just like most manufacturing work, too. One great example is air conditioningmanufacturing. It runs break neck for two seasons then largely shuts down and everyone gets fired. It’s been like this for longer than I’ve been around.
What I see is that the left feels done with Walmart and now wants to tame Amazon. Voila, this article. My small farm/manf town would love to have Amazon here.
Farm? Did I mention agriculture? I grew up moving furniture, worked in heavy equipment years before they had enclosed cabs, and ran a family farm. You ain’t telling me nothing about hot, sore or seasonal. Lol
Amazon has seasonal peaks, but it remains busy all year. They prefer turnover to ensure they don’t end up like the auto manufacturers.
I wouldn’t want a line job anywhere, so it’s job skin off my back. I am not begrudgingly them, just stating the facts. It’s a profitable enterprise, performing in a good market. A lack of opportunity is no cause to complain, just an incentive to get a better job somewhere else.
Good way to avoid discrimination lawsuits. Observe people for a while, note the ones who aren't very productive, or who cause trouble, shut down, fire all. At the next startup, rehire whoever was good.
