Nobody wants to WORK anymore.

I’m 41, and have worked through the entire scamdemic. Some people have better work ethics than other people.

A while back there were some outlandish media reports about Amazon warehouse workers peeing in bottles on the job because they couldn’t take bathroom breaks.

I laughed those reports off, but then some time later an Amazon representative publicly admitted that the stories were probably accurate.

I wouldn’t care if every Amazon facility burned to the ground overnight.

Bullshit. Amazon treats people like trash. Got a dick, piss in a bottle, no pee break.

There’s work

And then there’s indentured servant type conditions.

“Nobody wants to WORK anymore.”

Amazon works their employees to death.

Nobody wants to WORK anymore for the wages being offered

Nobody wants to WORK anymore.

I wondered the same thing. Does it really SUCK to work at Amazon or is this a generational thing? Or maybe a combination.

After a lifetime of pretty much liking my jobs (with a couple of exceptions), I am now working at a company that I loathe and detest. But I still go to work every day and will hang in there until I find a better option. (Or they lay me off...oh, please lay me off!)

A family friend works for an Amazon affiliate, Whole Foods. As a stocker she must call in on a first come first serve basis to get a time slot to come in and work. She gets ready to call the very second the slots open up. Within seconds it’s full and she is out of luck. She can’t do the work and make money if they won’t give her hours. There seems to be no way to succeed. Apparently Amazon tries to save money this way; there is no need for a layer of management if this time allocation is all automated. So if they burn through all their people bc they were penny wise and pound foolish, I have no sympathy.

[Blood of Tyrants]

That’s not it. Amazon is a dead end job where workers are treated like robots.

[NachOsten]

Whatever happened to "if you don't like it, quit!"

Guess what? Sheesh....

There’s work, and then there’s Amazon.

Every moment of your presence onsite is tracked. They track everything all the time. Stop to scratch your nose and they’ll ask why you aren’t multitasking.

My B-I-L works at one. He had more fun in Iraq being shot at, and more rest as an inductee at Pendleton. They work their staff more unrelentingly than you can imagine.

Starting at 4 AM for 10 hours daily, 2 10 minute breaks, OR one half-hour lunch. Think basic training forever. At just over minimum wage.

People are not machines.

This!
I have every confidence that if a person showed up consistently and cared about their job, the opportunities for advancement are available and numerous. There has never been a time when this is more true. The labor force is a mess.
