w.t.f... I work for Amazon in KS. if you only knew my story and how dirty they have been treating and still are, as I am trying to return to work, after two work injuries, with the second one taking 3 surgeries, and a 9 month benefit denial, that cost me everything I had built up to, you would be absolutely shocked. I lost my biological family, my wife and the family I was building, all my resources, finances, became homeless, with no transportation, and dealing with the mental health issues it all has cost... and there is so little help anywhere!
I know so many coworkers who have also been injured, screwed over by amazon's work, comp system and lawyers, and had to keep their jobs work injured and gotten re-injured and are still made to foot the bill. and honestly, I don't think anything is gonna change until the consumers demand change for the employees who are working their a**** off, putting their families and their health in jeopardy, just trying to make a living, in me, at these uppers, don't give a c*** about the lowers.
I will say they do have the best pay. And the best benefits in my state, as a warehouse associate. but the physical labor, energy, cost of personal and familial life, let alone if you're an overnight employee, like I am, trying to make a few bucks by sacrificing working ten hour shifts, which actually cost you about sixteen hours, severe sleep disruption, because the company actually cares more about its metrics and it really does about employees, no no matter how they wanna try to sugarcoat, it. The wealth distribution in energy, health, time, societal impact, it's so so so much more, is so far off it's not even funny.
I'd left a job that had gotten me to the best point i've ever been in my entire life being able to provide for not only myself put my family, children, and parents, to go work for Amazon because I thought it was gonna be a better opportunity to move me up faster in the world
And the way I desired and in the ways the world needs that I can provide.
But I can honestly say, so far working for amazon has destroyed literally every single area of my life did I build up to this point. in just like a narcissist, wishes to fight
