Is Amazon really that bad to work for? I had two roommates who were warehouse managers, and they didn't really seem to dislike their jobs much.

I think the parent refers to news about some packaging workers being mistreated, forming unions, and then those workers and unions being ignored and sidestepped.

Stuff like that https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackkelly/2021/10/25/a-hard-hit...

They employ over a million people. There’s going to be a pretty wide range of experiences.

I worked for AWS, it was one of the best jobs I’ve had and the only one in decades where I could leave the office, not think about work at all until I came back in, and not feel the slightest bit guilty or anxious about that. I know others have had a very different AWS experience.

Also anecdotally, I’d always chat to the facilities team/janitors at if they were in the kitchen while I was having lunch. All of them also worked shifts at the distribution center that opened up nearby. Their only complaint was they couldn’t get enough shifts there. It paid better than cleaning the kitchens in the corporate offices. Again, no doubt there’s a wide range of experiences.

Yeah people enjoy bashing it like second mcdonald, but simple truth is a lot of people around the world enjoy working there compared to other corporations.

Is it a dream job since your childhood? Hardly, but they are fine. I have one friend back home in eastern europe, basically full time categorizing new items added on marketplace for couple of years. Clear promotion paths (he was promoted 3x so far IIRC), perks, he wanted to switch to full WFH anywhere and he could easily, no push to return to offices after covid heights. He had tons of opportunities to change job but he is content with where he is.

The EU has a minimum level of labour laws not present in the US federation.

Try packaging workers instead and see what happens
