I am sorry you had such a tough time. I think your dad and mom are also the victims in this. If they had money they wouldn't have turned out that way. There are only so many things you can do to make money and sometimes no matter how hard you try, you wouldn't get a job. When you have less money people are very vulnerable to being negative and become depressed. Its so hard to escape from it without proper support, which is almost non-existent in the US. Its just how the US system is. Contrast it with canada and uk or some nordic countries where there is some good social support like in healthcare. You don't have to tell others if they perceive it badly. In my experience only those who were poor can empathize with your situation. I wish you will move away from amazon. I hear horrible stories about how they treat their low level employees.

They had plenty of money. Some people are just bad people. Sometimes these people are someone's parents. You do not know the situation and believe me, you are making a bit of an ass out of yourself.

I'm treated very well here. Amazon depends greatly on the team: mine is a very laid-back, exciting team and we do not have on call. Again, you're making an ass out of yourself.

I wasn't trying to be an ass. I was just saying that poor people have it tough than people without money. As you point out, sometimes even people with money cannot get themselves out of bad choices. I refuse to believe people are born either good or bad. Its the environment people were exposed to and the will power to do the right thing even when its hard that make people good and bad. People do bad things because it takes some effort to do the right thing.

Also about amazon, I wasn't trying to judge you or anything. I was just pointing put how amazon treat their low level employees like shit. Yes there are real costs to running a business. Your amazon team being great workplace for you is a good thing. Your team and the low level employees in warehouses all work for the same person, Jeff Bezos. If you were Jeff, and this came to your notice, would you actually do something about the bad working conditions of low level employees? They are humans after all and they are trying to make a living. Just because this is the only job they can do, doesn't mean they can be treated lowly. If no one reacts to it, then it will continue to be status quo(not advocating violent/rude confrontation). Agree to disagree.
