April 16th, eh? Are you expecting to have a big stack of them at the American Atheist convention the next day?

You bet!

Actually I’ve worked in three different ones and spent time at several others. And my experiences ARE the norm. The jobs are hard and very physical, but employee safety is actually priority, not just something that looks good on a report. No, it’s not the perfect life but pay and benefits are excellent and we are appreciated.

I’ve worked at Amazon for the past eight years and feel they treat us pretty good.

ashleylynnwilson @ #1: Quick question: Do you work in offices, or in a warehouse?

In either case: I’m glad your experiences at Amazon have been good. But that doesn’t make them universal, or even the standard.

There is an open-door policy with all our managers and employee contributions are highly valued. I do know of cases of intimidating managers, but they are usually disciplined and taught how to be more interactive with their staff. I am very pro-union and would be the first demanding one if the need arose, but I think we have a good thing going here.

Buy where you feel your conscious lead you, but I do think the linked-to Salon article was a little heavy-handed and unfair. (No, I am not a manager nor do I get any incentive for increased sales)

*puts soapbox away*

Really looking forward to the book. Thoroughly enjoyed “Angry” and “Bending”.
