Worked at a warehouse for a small family owned business once and now I work at an Amazon warehouse and it's like fucking night and day. At least Amazon managers have no like personal investment in the goings on really, everything is just numbers and you're just one cog out of many so its easy to avoid scrutiny. If a small business tyrant decides they don't like you? Good fucking luck.

I never thought I'd see Amazon as a comparatively better employer.

A lot of people welcomed big box stores and conglomerates into their neighborhoods, and not just for the lower prices.

Now it makes me think of all the time people said to support local businesses and I was confused because all they did was resell things from literally the nearby supermarket (for which I briefly worked so I know for a fact) at a higher price. It's just all capitalism. :(
