Some of you are so ignorant it's unbelievable.
People that have full time jobs, are honest, hard working and contributing to society cannot make ends meet. Some of you decide to mock them. You'll bitch and moan about the state of our society, urban decay, crime, broken families etc, but completely ignore the factors that contribute to it. Completely and total ignorance. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Terriblis: Putting Chinese crap in boxes is supposed to be a "family sustaining job"? It seems a lot of people, particularly on the left, seem to think that any and every job should be a "career" level job, which should provide income sufficient enough to afford a moderate house in a nice neighborhood, a BMW in your driveway and a Cadillac healthcare plan. Even a 16 year old flipping burgers at Mickey D's deserves that. Not every job is labor of that level of value, and lots of people simply cannot understand that. |

The article states they are making $20.50 an hour. I don’t know what kind of room there is for advancement but if that’s their entry level jobs it isn’t half bad. Right behind ups inside work in pay rate but probably less overall compensation. Not bad, not great.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By akguy1985: Originally Posted By SamBoga: Amazon is a meat grinder. Yes, it is. We have a lot of Amazon refugees at my job. Well the article clearly shows people stuffing rubber dog shit in to envelopes, can’t be that hard  Never worked for Amazon but I understand how logistics work is done well. There is quite a bit of back breaking labor that gets things from one place to another. Some of the most demanding shit jobs one can do. They deserve as much as any other unskilled worker. Do they deserve masters degree money? No, but they shouldn’t be met with “fuck em” for wanting more either. I suppose if you’re used to accepting whatever’s been offered to you and never asked for more one might have that attitude. Honest days work for an honest days pay. |

Amazon. The one that runs commercials that tell everyone that they help advance people with educational opportunities and promote those from within......
Don't like the $15? Fine, get into some logistics and supply chain classes they would pay for and move up the chain. Everyone has an excuse. There was a time in this country not too long ago where you proved your worth and showed you were committed to do it. Now? We just expect it. |

Things are still getting worse too. It’s extremely serious, and eventually it’s going to effect everyone who’s not super wealthy, and voting isn’t going to fix shit, we’re passed that. Buckle up. |

Neighbor kid started mowing lawns at 13. On his way to being a millionaire. But he has gumption.
He can't drive his personally owned truck until he turns 16 this October. No loan on the truck, mowers, trailer or other gear. Doesn't whine about the work either. |
