    As someone that has worked for/with several small companies, including those involved in wellness and promoting mental health, that’s a load of shit. Lots of employers are ruthless and evil, including many of the ones people here work for. Amazon is no different, they’re just much larger.

      You have exactly the attitude of someone able to work for a monster like amazon. Unnecessary aggressive and condescending.

      Thanks for making my point.

        1 out of every 169 people work for Amazon. Your stance is that they’re all evil.

        How privileged you must be to have loads of employment options at your fingertips.

          My stance is that most people have poor reading comprehension. Thanks for making my point.

          I said „without necessity“. Having no other comparable options qualifies as necessity in my book.

          Activism is great but the moment people shun others for not ruining themselves for the cause they become radicals.

          So no, thats not my stance.

          And no, I havent been born privileged in the typical western way. But I have the privilege of being pretty smart which enabled me to escape the prison of an uneducated, violent household.

          And yes, I hold people accountable for not giving a shit about others. Deal with it.

            People have low reading comprehension because they didn’t assume that “necessity” meant some specific thing in your head? If you want to be understood, maybe share more context.

            Regardless, you sound super judgy of people whose situation you have no concept of. This tracks very well with your insistence that you care about others. People who care about others don’t need to state it. It shows in how they treat people.

            And you’ve been needlessly mean in just this simple conversation. So no, you don’t care about others. You just want to project that persona.

          And more condescension. Its as if more of the same thing will do different things.

          Maybe add some racism or climate denial to the mix. Just for some seasoning.

      I’ve spent most of my career working at small companies and they’ve all had fantastic work/life balance policies while also not skimping out on compensation packages. I guess you’ve just got to know how to pick 'em ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      Having no tolerance for being treated like a machine rather than a human also helps.
