      That’s exactly what they’re bitching about. It is too much like a real job.

      Because they already have a real job, and now they’re being screwed by their employer, just like a real job

        Technically it’s their client that’s putting the thumb screws to them.

        If that’s the case the logical solution is to put your commercial hat on and find another client. Amazon aren’t the only ones paying.

        If Amazon was your only client that’ll be tough, but speaking from experience if you don’t diversify your client base, you’re living on borrowed time anyway.

        This doesn’t mean Amazon are not being abusive, but the solution isn’t to moan on the internet.

          That’s pretty silly; moaning on the Internet is a good way to raise awareness and support. No one can do anything about these structural issues as individuals

      I’m honestly sickened by the simping for Amazon in this thread. Pathetic.

          All labor deserves a livable wage. I don’t care if it’s something I personally find annoying. Fuck amazon for screwing people over, even if I find those people annoying, it doesn’t matter.

        More like everyone taking Zucks side in his cage match with Elon. We hate them both, a lot, but you’ve got to choose someone to root for.

        For me it’s a bit like slime mold. I can mostly avoid contact with Amazon if I choose to; influencers just spring up organically around me an no amount of bleach can get rid of them.

          I’m not rooting for Zuck, I just know he’s kick Musks ass. And even if it’s just another billionaire, I always wanna see a billionaire get their ass kicked.

            I thought we were talking about influencers here - the “give me free stuff and look at how much fun I’m having” crowd.

      I don’t really understand what an “influencer” is. Seems like a made up term to justify unemployment,plus they should be called “IMHOs”, cause that’s exactly what they are: " in my humble opinioners". IMHO of course.

      Edit: autocorrect.
