[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my friends is a single mom and worked in an Amazon warehouse for a year. Her job was as you described. Except she wasn't doing it out of curiosity, but actually to pay bills. She said it was very depressing. [/quote] I felt very fortunate that this was not really my life or full time job. It really put my own real job into perspective and I’ll think twice about complaining about things like retuning late night client emails. It also gave me an appreciation for what unseen, poorly paid yet vital workers do and put class and value into a new light. During this experience I picked up the book Nickel and Dimed by Barbara Ehrenreich and while it was written some time ago much of what she says still hold true. [/quote]
