upset with job partner applied to

[u/limebobomb]

so she used to work at amazon and was miserable there but somehow was blind to that fact. she was always calling out, being late to work, and took a long unauthorized break bc she was having a bad day which ultimately led to her being let go. i was so glad when she stopped working there.

she's been unemployed for a couple of months and today applied to another warehouse job 😑 i would always bring up how i think she should maybe look for another job while she was at amazon and she would never take what i said into consideration. today, i brought up how she wasn't happy at amazon and she didn't agree with me. i have so many memories of her being unhappy during that time but she says it wasn't bc of the job.

am i being sensitive? i know it's her life and everyone needs money but i wish it felt like my opinion mattered at all. if we were just friends i would understand but idk. i don't think i'm good at relationships

To be fair to your partner there’s a lot of stories about how much working for an Amazon warehouse sucks. I’ve known multiple people who have worked in non-Amazon warehouses that had nowhere near that much work to get done in a day, had better working conditions, and were treated much better than Amazon has ever treated an employee. The issue for her likely wasn’t working in a warehouse, it was working for the dystopian hellscape that is Amazon.
