Amazon as a whole makes money but about %90 of the profit is in aws that's where I'm trying to go. Raises could definitely happen but in the current economy where we are closing sites and letting go of people I don't see raises happening for any warehouse workers especially sense they just gave everyone $1 raise at sites in my area early oct. I know not everyone got that much but those site were already above $15

It's not meant to fool anyone. I am genuinely asking and that sounds like a bad experience where safety should have done something about overfilling carts but ops sucks so we have to escalate it ourselves. Water spidering is not for everyone but some ppl love it bc all the do is flirt. I make decent money as a l3 now I'm not planning on leaving.

If there is a tornado outside you need to stay indoors they teach you this in elementary school. The facilities have ac and heaters and are temperature controlled usually around 78 degrees most warehouses from other companies don't have ac. I am not familiar of with the Germany incident you may have me on that one. And as for suicide they literally offer free mental health counseling what else do you want them to offer for that? Rates have never been an issue there just there to make sure your actually working for your shift because some people literally hide on the bathroom all day and it takes them weeks to get fired.

Going to get down voted for this but they are competitive with other warehouses for most states and compared to other places it's not very demanding. Yes you are doing repetitive tasks and standing in one spot all day but they have accomodations if you have medical conditions or pregnant where they will provide you a chair or lower your expected rate even. Before amazon I never had a job where I can just put time in and it auto approves you with no hassle of a manager trying to convince you to come in. If people want to unionize more power to you I just don't understand what there lacking.
