“A crafting friend of mine works at Walmart. The employees are treated like absolute CRAP, and not just during the holiday season”
Amazon is the same way. A guy in my hometown was delivery drive. They would keep upping his delivery production so it was near impossible to meet. He never took a break or lunch.
He said it was a relief when he backed in to a woman minor fender bender and he was fired. Amazon after any accident no matter how small you are fired.
“Amazon is the same way.”
I agree. My brother did seasonal work for them a couple years, and the situation was abusive. I shudder when I see the new Amazon interviewing employees; they make it sound like they died and went to Heaven. I realize every company has the right to make its own rules, but there has to be some basic respect of other human beings.
So it’s just like working in IT, then?
I started out working at Burger King, McDonalds and Wendys.
I received more break time working for those fast food places than I do now as an IT worker. What lunch? What break?
I took the day off yesterday and users were calling my cell phone!
You have to watch out for Amazon drivers. They leave and return to the van at a dead run and drive like they’re in a full bore, linear panic.
