Who do you buy from then that you know has better warehouse worker conditions?

I’ve been reading first hand comments since the Digg days, and can be summed up consistently as:

No prior warehouse experience - doom and gloom unfair work conditions, Amazon evil

Prior warehouse experience - pretty typical, better than average, but metrics are annoying mental overhead.

So I ask with sincerity - do you know that the places you shop app are actually better, or are you just anti Amazon because you have heard bad things, but don’t know about others?

I’ve heard Costco is decent to workers and the prices are good, so I try that when I can. There are a few other places that I like for specific items (Chapman’s Icecream)

Besos could easily have the best paid workers, with the best conditions, the best customer service, require delivery that cares, ensure the best quality goods, and still be over a hundred thousand times richer than a millionaire, but he doesn’t. He wants the extra money more. So much power, so much money, so much squeezing the normal folk just a bit harder for a bit more profit.

What a worthless off topic response, that ignored the question, and just went for a weak ass insult. 👏 bravo.

I assume that person is simply making it up. They did not learn about the working conditions in ~2007. I assume the first articles about that came many years later. Google seems to have removed the custom date range, so I can’t check. Feels like that came up around 2015. wiki names 2011

You need to switch to desktop mode.

Good damn fucking Google. Why would you hide an already hidden feature even more?

I bought a book from Amazon on 2007… Then I didn’t buy anything else from them afterwards, because… I didn’t need everythign else from them?

Then this article came out (in 2011): https://www.wumingfoundation.com/giap/2011/09/feticismo-della-merce-digitale-e-sfruttamento-nascosto-i-casi-amazon-e-apple/ and I decided to delete my Amazon account.

I don’t need to make up anything. Believe me or don’t believe me. I couldn’t care less.

You did not buy anything from them for years because that just happened to be the case. You made it sound as if the reason were those working conditions, when they just made you delete the unused account years later. In other words: Not using something you already don’t use is not exactly amazing courage.

LOL, so much rage in your reply.

I’m anti Amazon because of bad things. I buy stuff through smaller retailer from my country, even if they cost a bit more/shipping is delayed one or two days.

I can’t obviously know “how much evil” other companies are, but in the meanwhile I can pretty much avoid those that are definitely “very evil”.

If that’s “so much rage”, you’re very sensitive.
