About what you should expect from that awful publication.

When I was young I did agency employment for a few years between leaving
school and figuring out what I wanted to do.

A lot of that was in warehouses (I also worked in greenhouses harvesting
cucumbers 45C and 100% humidity, a paint factory moving 15l paint tins all day
- never eaten so much or been so fit, 15l tins of bitumen are heavy to
handball all day, steel plant that powder coated so hot tanks of acid and full
PPE and a cardboard box factory) and almost nothing I’ve read about amazon
surprises me much.

Warehouse work is often physically demanding and rote, same thing over and
over again, I never had a problem with that because I’d just go on autopilot
and the day would pass in a blur - never had an issue with hard work and got
multiple full time offers, I’ve always been a naturally hard worker, I always
figured I’m here for 8-12 hours day goes faster when you are busy.

It was an interesting experience and after moving into enterprise software
development served me really well when it came to producing things operatives
actually got a benefit from.

It also makes me think that TUI’s with shortcut keys are often massively more
efficient than a pretty GUI but I digress.

Very similar boat as you when I was younger. Lots of physical labor. No big
deal when you're
comparing the personal, working experience of the 
 author with what he has seen portray in the metier. I thought it was 
 compelling, even if the author worked in a “ sortation warehouse ” rather of 
 the “ fulfillment center ” frequently covered, and entirely represent one 
 datapoint. 

 But then he interjects his controversy with how working for Amazon has allowed 
 him to interact with divers colleagues? The story felt like it went from an 
 taste of the working class to a defense of corporations and capitalism, 
 with a bit of chauvinistic pride sprinkled in. I do n’t know what to think.

 A lot of that was in warehouse (I besides work in greenhouses harvesting 
 cucumbers 45C and 100% humidity, a paint factory moving 15l paint tins all day

 Warehouse work is often physically demand and rote, same thing over and
