At some point you have to question people that choose to work at Amazon who have other options. At the very least.


I worked at Amazon and I had other options. What about me do you have to question?


were you aware of amazons practices before you started to work there? if yes, how did that factor into your decision to take the job?


Do you mean specifically around their anti union stance?

It wasn’t widely in the news back then. But I also don’t want to be part of an union and most of the unions I’m aware of in North America are not shining examples. So I’d be ok with working there today given what I know.


i wasn't looking specifically at that, but anything they are doing to take advantage of employees, third-party sellers or customers, etc.

that said, i really just wanted to elaborate on the question itself, without expecting a detailed response because i don't think it's fair to single out individual employees for working at a company with issues. even if you can change jobs easily, other companies are not necessarily better, and they may have other problems.

with that in mind i appreciate your response even more.
