[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I took a job at an Amazon warehouse for 2 weeks instead of going on vacation because I was curious. I was partially inspired by an article written by Philip Su a former tech executive who took the position to cure depression. I’m college educated and a small business owner. AMA. I quit this weekend. It’s been interesting. [/quote]
How much were you paid?[/quote]
17.50 per hour. My base was 16 but because of a night time differential I got an extra 1.50 per hour. 16 is a standard base irregardless of location meaning people in NYC and SF make the same. I don’t know how someone would live on what is basically $500 a week after taxes in those locales. [/quote]

1. Irregardless ?? seriously?
[b]2. Everyone knows it's not supposed to be a career that supports a family. [/b] It's exactly what you said - supplemental income.
3. Based on what you have said - I don't believe you worked there for a minute. [/quote]

Some people cannot work a job that is more difficult mentally. Yes, these jobs should support at least a single person living in a studio apartment. It’s not like you can have a 16 year old do this job. [/quote]

You absolutely can and they absolutely do.  Especially seasonal employees.  Home from college - hump boxes at Amazon for 6 weeks. Make bank.[/quote]

What the heck? Amazon warehouse jobs are NOT supplemental income. They are paid full-time positions, and Amazon is an all day, every day business with huge ouput. Do you really think they rely on seasonal workers to get you your Made in China plastic crap in 24 hours?

DO you people evn think before you write out nonsense?[/quote]
