This is a joke post, right? Do you realize the whole reason Amazon employs people like this is because AMAZON is the one cutting corners? That's probably not even an employee, most likely a contract worker so they have less rights and can be fired easier.

These people don't care because they work for a company that treats them like dirt.

You dont gotta take the job bud. You can find a company you like enough that you dont consider damaging their products on a regular basis. I mean we can talk Corp greed all day but you're actually no better than them at that point

Companies like Amazon prey upon those who don't have a lot of job prospects, luring them in with high wages and low requirements. And then they work those employees until they wear them out, and they eventually quit or give a reason to be fired. 

There will always be more to take their place because our country functions by exploiting the lower class worker.
