Exactly this. I had so many colleagues that were always complaining to me about how they think our boss treated them unfair, and I always said "Don't tell me, just talk to the boss." There were two different managers who thought they need to scream at me, and both times I waited until they were finished screaming, and I just told them that if they would ever scream at me again I just turn around and go home immediately. They never screamed at me again but were continuing to treat some of my colleagues like shit and were still screaming at them for trivial reasons. People just need to understand that they need to stand up for themselves, and stop complaining to your colleagues or friends on how unfair life is, and that soon you will quit your job, this time for sure. :)
Yup. I got the you never come in on time talk after 5 years of not coming in on time and mentioning that it’s not my jam during the interview. Was told I’d be fired if I didn’t fix it.
2 weeks later after not coming in on time I handed in my notice, got yelled at. They asked for more notice, gave it to them, last day, they said it was alright to not come in on time.
I haven't worked in one owned by Amazon, but I've worked in a warehouse. As far as I know most of them are about 50C warmer than the ones I worked in, as far as I know, there's no 80kg amazon packages frozen at -25C so I'd say they have it pretty easy.
That warehouse certainly didn't have robots to bring us our packages for scanning by laser gun either.
Yeah, real statistics must be made. However this opinion is so universal and frequently voiced by the workers that not sharing it would be just as wrong as relying purely on anecdata.
The society here is not too divided. It's normal to meet, talk and drink beer with people of other occupations. Every time someone at a bar tells me they work at a warehouse, they will soon be raving about how much better things are thanks to Amazon. You can overhear these conversations at bus stops, at the doctor, etc.
