Why do any of these people continue to work there under such deplorable conditions? I understand the warehouse workers dont have other opportunities and for many its the only employer where they live. But damn, Amazon treats its tech workers like shit and continues to make bad decisions day after day that only benefit those at the top.

I used to work there and the money is amazing when the stock is rising. Since the stock stopped rising at the extreme rate that it was, it’s now just comparable to other tech orgs.

That’s still a lot of money though. Lots of people would want to take those jobs if they could, and I mean qualified software engineers who make less than the average big tech salary.
