Anyone else thinks it's strange how Amazon's new commercials are their workers trying to explain how great it is to work in their warehouses? And that it's not as bad as some say... When we actually know the true horror that goes on in them.
Like what other billion dollar company has a marketing campaign like that?
There is no point to this post, but I always found that odd.

What is the “true horror” going on at these warehouses? People without any skills making a decent wage during a global pandemic and recession?
Do you live under a rock? The conditions at the warehouses have been terrible for years. Google them and you'll know what I mean.
But yeah it's not like I feel bad that they are still making living wage during COVID. It's just comical that their commercials show how great it is to work there, when that's been factually denied.
I have....personally don’t consider occasionally working 12 hour workdays with two breaks hellish. Did the same shift working labor jobs in high school and managed to survive.
If you don’t like it take another job, sorry. Liberal media always needs a big bad corporate boogeyman to get the base riled up.
Amen.
Truth is that Amazon makes the expectations very clear: You'll work your ass off but we'll pay you better than anyone else and give you a chance to move up.
Terrible by what measure?
Amazon in general is a very cut-throat company. Even the engineers, product managers, business analysts, etc work in what some people would consider "sub-human" conditions.
But people do get paid well, given career opportunities, and more.
Is Amazon violating basic human rights? Witholding pay? Using its market power to slash pay? People work at Amazon warehouses because other similar positions don't pay as well. In other words, people choose to work at Amazon instead of other places. In turn, Amazon expects everyone to work harder.
They made a sacrifice to work at Amazon. Amazon makes expectations very clear from the beginning: You'll have a tough time but we'll pay you better than anyone else.
On point. There's a reason why some college grads "choose" to work in those warehouses. Choose in quotes because who knows if that was their first choice.
