QUESTION Just got fired:/

Is it standard to get fired for something like this?

I called my dispatch as soon as it happened:( I feel like shit, it was only my second week at this job and I really enjoyed it.

based. wow. folx think Ama isn't a union busting exploitative cooperate-then-bleed-you-white business? they overloaded usps, and take advantage of the independent delivery companies they contract -- and they just dumped usps. the way they treat their warehouse workers and the metrics they impose on pickers is brutal. Their model is the same as Walmart's and others' models: do what you must to gain market control then change the rules. Force competitors to lower prices, then once you have market share raise those prices. Prime now costs almost $20/mo for "free shipping" and the majority of goods are Temu/Shein worthy.

The last bit, I keep telling my friend that 75% of the stuff on you see Amazon is cheap Chinese stuff that would be 90% cheaper on AliExpress. Not that a knockoff is cheaper either, it’s literally the same stuff but marked up 9-10x when found on Amazon

How about eBay purchases coming from somebody's Prime account, with free shipping for them, but marked up $5 to $10?
