An open letter to Jeff Bezos: A contract worker’s take on Amazon.com
Ama-MartWal-zonTake your pick.I don't care whether you are "online" or off.  Treat your workers like shit  -- yes, your workers, you wankers; I don't care what shell employment manoeuvring you use -- and run a business model that takes advantage of, if it's not outright predicated upon, the public dole, and I will be disinclined to send my business your way.Other readers here: If you don't like it, vote with your dollars (or whatever currency).  It's the only way, in today's world.And name them for what they are.  They hate the bad publicity.HN relevance:  Being a "tech" company does not absolve you of being a good citizen.  Some "tech" advocates are sounding far too much like Wall Street bankers, these days.----P.S.  Good grief -- a bit of upvote.  Karma negating though it may prove to be (feh), I'll add that while authoring my original comment I was thinking more of the now much reported warehouse staffing situation than of the OP's situation.  ALTHOUGH... I, too, have experienced the "blessed" "management" employee phenomenon -- more than once, when I stop to think about it.Once even personally, where a VP's... "pet" was moved into a role that I was in line for.  They received some months of half-day or more one-on-one training from a senior supervisor.  They never really got the hand of the role, especially the technical details; nonetheless, it was enough of a resume builder for them to shortly thereupon move on to "bigger and better" "management" things.Whereupon, they belatedly put me into the role.  Which I then did from day one, with effectively zero additional training.  Oh, and while holding down my old job -- and at times, repeatedly, also portions of the job I'd left before that, which they continued to underhire for and so continued to fail to fill successfully."Management".  The best management I've seen worked up to the role.  "Formal" credentials are to me not outright anathema, but definitely a caution.
