I’m contested on this. The thing is, this logic applies everywhere even the extremely evil corpos like nvidia, palantir, etc. There will always be someone scraping the bottom earning for scraps in all different types of companies.
So where do we draw the line? How evil must the company be so it is fair to leave the lower level employees behind?
Ultimately, I dont think it is fair for the consumers. We are drawned in this choice where support for the lower class means feeding the executive class. It all trickles down, and thats the problem.
No, I am not saying we should buy anything from megacorpos just to support lower level workers. I am saying we shouldn’t blame the lower level workers for the evil of corporation because they often don’t have a choice.
Funnily enough, the workers of the megacorps you mentioned likely have more choice than most to tread their own path. They very likely have significant financial reserves (at least compared to a poor and sickly person like me).
When there is a mass exodus of NVIDIA/etc. workers, I will be chipping in to support them directly.
Well considering that I live in a rural area where warehouses (Amazon or otherwise) are literally the only jobs that pay much of anything outside of trades and the medical industry, I think they do have a choice.
It isn’t a fair choice and again, we agree there. But this example I can relate with personally.
I am somebody who has an option to be employed by Amazon, I am in need of funds, but I am sickly and I won’t contribute to an out-of-control system. I feel like doing so would accelerate my illness.
I feel like people with warehouse jobs are better off than me by a large margin, even if they are functionally trapped. I recognize the struggle. Truly.
I still choose to tread my own path. My path has been filled with thorns that even the people closest to me struggle to believe. I was raped and tortured repeatedly for around 2 years by a family member two years younger than me. That’s the tip of the iceberg. I have experienced so many tough situations that no adult intervened in or believed me about.
I am moving forward and the thorns aren’t going to prick me, because my heart is stronger and so is my will.

Like warehouse workers in Amazon?

Well in that case I can agree.
