> your comment seems like FUD

And your comment reads as though 'AWS is worse' is a defense of Lidl. It should be possible to do right by your employees, not to see who can get away with the most harm without being outright liable.

'Little' things like asking your female employees that are on their period to wear colored headbands to be allowed toilet privileges or employees committing suicide due to work pressure does not fall in 'not perfect', that's outright hostile.

See provided reference.

AWS is worse is absolutely a defence of Lidl.

The "problem" here is that it's being positioned as a dichotomy between the status quo (Amazon) and an entrant (Lidl) and your claims that Lidl are "bad and I won't use them" implies that you would use Amazon. Since that's what is in the topic.

Not saying they're perfect, as mentioned, all I know is that they're a big employer and externally: they pay better than the competition and have a much higher employee satisfaction rating (where I can see it) than for instance ASDA, Walmart or Swedish chains like Coop and Netto.

I won't use Amazon either. The title references this as an AWS competitor and if you read my comment carefully you would probably realize that I did not exactly glorify them, rather the opposite.

Well you seem to desire attacking Lidl no matter the facts or experiences, so don't be surprised at other's reactions.

Lidl is generally cheap store (there are exceptions when they provide above above-average quality for little price), but where I come from, people are generally happy to work there and they sure pay above average within business.
