This is common knowledge, right?

This is a red herring. Where did I talk about my warehouse job being poorly paying with bad working conditions? Oh, I didn’t. In fact I talked about the exact opposite. And the discussion was about “menial” jobs, not poorly paying ones. Talk about loading stuff into an argument.


Seems to me the workers in question would not mind being freed from their job, granted they had a possibility to do so and/or another source of income. But I guess they don't and voluntarily keep working for Amazon.
