Everything that they say about Amazon is true. It’s a sweatshop and workers are treated like slaves. Didn’t make it to the end of my shift but I did put in several more hours than I should have and now my entire body hurts

    There've been a lot of amazon job postings here recently, I've been tempted to apply only for the fact they pay more than my current cleaning job and I don't want to stay just doing that, but then I also hear things like this from people online and also people I know. I wish options weren't so limited.

      Give it a shot. If you can beat the first few weeks you'll be ok. I took a temp contract, and whilst it made me want to kill myself, I pushed through and came out with some nice cash to flash.

      The performance quota stuff isn't great and their covid response was awful in the beginning but at this point, atleast at the warehouses here, they're probably the safest warehouse to work for if you're worried about covid.
