      1/ this article about how warehouse work is, you know, warehouse work is amazing delicate flower academic bluechecks wringing their hands that some jobs require you stand on your feet, and don't provide "job satisfaction"https://www.bloomberg.com/news/features/2020-12-17/amazon-amzn-job-pay-rate-leaves-some-warehouse-employees-homeless …

      2/ my amazement is of two distinct types: * do you ... do you not understand what Real Jobs are like? Have you never stood on your feet for a 10 hour shift, shelving books or opening packages or frying burgers?

      3/ * WHERE DO YOU THINK THINGS COME FROM? Like, yes, these jobs are indeed physical work, but the authors seem offended that ANYONE might be asked to do a job that requires lifting things and putting them in boxes. HOW DO YOU THINK THAT THINGS GET INTO BOXES?

      4/ I'm hardly some child-of-cobblers, up-by-my-bootstraps story. I was born into a white collar-ish family, that was 1 generation up from blue collar. ...but even I mowed lawns, shoveled driveways (with a shovel), stocked bookshelves, etc. for money from ages 10 - 21.

      5/ I'm finding it hard to understand (literally, I find this hard!) how people can be worked up that "some jobs require you to lift things and stand on your feet". I presume that both of these authors have purchased coffee at coffee shops. I presume they've seen lawns mowed.

          The baristas and lawn mowers aren't real. Everything is magic. Don't tell them what an average day for a delivery person is like. I watched our ups guy struggle to deliver our 300lbs power rack. God must have put it on the truck first.

          My best college-summer job, hands down, was working in the warehouse at a chemical plant. The work didn't fill me with meaning, but it wasn't drudgery either, and most important the team was a delightful cast of characters.

          That summer cured all my college career-path anxiety, because I realized that if that was what was actually in store for me if my professional-track path didn't pan out, there really wasn't anything to be afraid of.

          I really like how they compare the Amazon order pickers to a forklift op and a yard dog driver.

          While much of this is true- amazon is it's own horrorshow- bias against old employers aside, I work with ex-amazons all levels everyday. There is a reason there is so much churn. That being said... they pay well. You won't get $15 in retail off the bat. Bloomies dunno from work.

          'Giannini, who spent five years at a warehouse in New Jersey, says Amazon’s genius lies in simplifying most tasks to the point but where anybody can do it. “They’ve gotten it to such a science, every single process is very simple.” ' Do people not know what assembly lines are?
