Did you ever give a thought that just maybe they did like it?
I'm not one to play the classwarfare crap
Then don't play it......
If you think an Amazon warehouse is such a hellish place, you should spend a summer in an automotive stamping plant working a 10 or 12 hour shift trying to maintain production quota on a draw die for the Ford van roof or the Lincoln Navigator side body panel or work in a foundry.
I can think of a number of shitty jobs I pulled at my plant during my 35 year career with them and working for Amazon sounds like a piece of cake.......At least it's clean, quiet and you don't have to wash soot out of your nose and oil out of your hair and off your body as soon as you get home.
And we had 35 year + seniority guys in their 60's and early 70's doing that crap their entire career with the company..
Ummmmmm...yeah
As for Amazon being a nice clean place to work...

many many, stories, just take a gander.
You working in a Union Auto Assembly plant. You mean one of those ones where guys were making over $100/hr with coffee breaks, long lunches, lots of OT and all the other union goodies, that the UAW got you? You mean the same union goodies that decimated the auto industry in Detroit and other places, so the Big 3 started making their cars in foreign countries? Do you mean the auto industry that moved the operations, that didn’t go out of the country, to NonUnion-Right To Work states in the South, to they didn’t have to be held hostage by the UAW? Or do you mean that you WEREN’T one of the Delphi Employees who entire retirement went down the toilet when obama made a dope deal with GM and the UAW? Oh you’re one of those guys. I get it..
You got lucky. I’m sure you were a hard worker, never called in sick, didn’t take vacation and took the check instead. Happy for you and the family. but now, lots of the jobs that your unions pushed for are now being down by robots and if you were in the job market today, it would probably be a little tougher, that it was when you started.
