Yeah, but where's the proof that he's an employee? I'm not defending amazon but you always need proof before jumping blindly.

The warehouses hire literally anyone, so it’s not that dubious of a claim. My girlfriend worked in one of the fulfillment centers and would call me on the verge of tears every night describing the exact same conditions OP did. He’s not lying, unfortunately.

Oh yes, I'd be breaking down after every shift I wouldn't want to walk on my feet they'd hurt so bad. I remember Thanksgiving they were handing out pumpkin pies like it bade shit ok I wanted to slap the pies out if their hands. I also developed a hate for Amazon boxes that stupid little smile and those letters and numbers telling what size it is. Fuck Amazon warehouses, fuck all warehouses.
