As a worker there, with 70K to 100K packages a day, one less ain’t changing anything. And to be completely honest, boycotting them enough to make them lose money would not benefit the workers at all. We’ll get laid off or have our (pretty good btw) benefits reduced or canceled. They literally are one of, if not THE, only entry-level jobs you can actually rent an apartment on in these times, without doing Uber, Lyft, DoorDash, Uber Eats, Fiverr, UserTesting, OnlyFans, and every other side hustle the sun has remotely breathed on.
Not a recruiter, not Jeff in disguise, not held hostage by Jeff or Jassy, just a person satisfied with my job. I support unionization.
Yeah a friend of mine was a logistics warehouse worker for multiple companies, and she said Amazon was by-far the best. Yeah it’s not a good job, but it beats the alternatives by a mile where she lives.
That’s not how that works. If enough people boycott a service and show their displeasure, companies have to change something depending on how many people participate. It’s the same thing when it comes to climate change, veganism, whatever. Every bit counts and subtracting oneself from all responsibility with this mentality is a little naive, imho.
You’re bound to have a different experience as an employee, though. Can’t comment on that. However, things would very likely change for the better, even for you, if Amazon’s shady business practises were shunned even more than they already are. It’s insane how much of their wrongdoings have been exposed over the past years and how little people actually care
