Amazon Has Turned a Middle-Class Warehouse Career into a McJob
There&#x27;s a much bigger debate brewing around what the purpose of a company really should be.<p>Turns out that focusing only on the cost to the customer means the majority of people work shitty jobs just so they can buy slightly cheaper stuff from other people working shitty jobs. You have to wonder, maybe what&#x27;s best for people is to pay slightly more for everything and get better jobs all around instead. Even if purchasing power goes down as a result, a slightly more enjoyable 8 hours could well be worth the tradeoff because we spend most of our waking hours working.<p>If the decreased efficiency anx higher costs were born by the company (i. e mgmt and shareholders) instead of consumers, costs wouldn&#x27;t necessarily need to go up either.
