Worst 6 wks of my adult life as an Amazon employee.

[misterrivers]

It’s a free country, you don’t have to work at Amazon

My wage isn't livable but I'm rocking the iPhone 14 Pro. What is the definition of a livable life is suppose to hand you out the best? Entitled expectations is the true poison in society. I would fire them all and give the jobs to folks who would appreciate them.

[cabledude]

Greed begets greed. No matter what people have....they will find something to complain about. The wages are livable. What spoiled people in America consider livable is laughable. There are entitled people that couldn't make that Disney trip this year while driving a $60, 000 vehicle and pay $250 for cable every month who say their wage isn't livable. Fire all these morons because there are more people waiting for jobs. Maybe lowering you standards of unnecessary BS you really don't need. Too many people try and live beyond their means and when they fail financially....they want to point their fingers at the successful guy who was smarter than them that created a company and jobs.

[strongmermaid]

I was a former dsp driver for Quayaco logistics Iand they would send me out with vechicals that where risk taking as well and I also am with a disability which they where aware of as well and gave me hard times when it came to my load as well as those that worked in the warehouse off of 105 and woodland had constant delays and then it felt like they did things intentionaly to get me to quit I hung in there for as long as I could until I felt disrespected long enough DSP should as well be held responsible as well .

0:20 I counted 14 people plus the rat! I’ve seen more people in the doctors office than this. In a word… PATHETIC!!!

Don't take jobs there. I didn't, and now they're laying off 10000 workers. Think they'll notice you now? That beard won't save you.

[mrkodak]

And just so the Union can mistreat the workers lol

[waleyefish]

Amazon workers get Disciplined for going PEE. That's what's WRONG with AMAZON.

[loveforeignaccents]

So why would you want to work there then? Jobs are a dime a dozen. Go work somewhere else and quit your complaining.

[moiseso.]

In the OLD DAYS when you got to comfortable at a job and felt that you weren’t replaceable, WE FIRED YOU. NOT RAISED YOUR PAY.

Any cost that is incurred by Amazon or any company similar to that will be passed on to the consumer. If you think the management of these companies are going to suck up the increase cost for doing things, you are mistaken. This also gives companies like this and incentive to employ more robots And to locate where there is more friendly workers. I’m not taking sides in this issue I don’t care one way or another I’m just a reporter here. I’m telling you what the news media won’t tell you, it’s always been this way. I recently commented to someone who said that Volkswagen was fined $34 billion for the fiasco they had with the diesel car. If people think for one second if the advancement that Volkswagen or any other company gives to the government for whatever reason or any costs incurred through a union or any different business climate you are thinking wrong

[TheCommunicationCoach]

Unions...finally got around to that, eh? The real issue here.

[bbrcummins]
