> Did you seriously never hear about the amount of workplace accidents rate at Amazon vs other companies?

I hear stories about Amazon, but NEVER about other warehouses. That's the whole point.

> I’ve never heard that about other Swiss companies I purchase from. It’s probably not paradise. It’s still not Amazon level of hell and exploitation.

That does not follow. You've "never heard" anything one way or another, which means that you have no evidence of any kind.

I, on the other hand, have personal experience with working in non-Amazon warehouses. They all sucked.

First search result I get for “Amazon warehouse accident rate”: https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/12/study-amazon-workers-serious...

Amazon is also notorious about exploiting workers. I seriously doubt you’ve never heard that claim or read anything about it and think it’s just another normal [warehouse] job.

I didn't ask you for more Amazon warehouse stories.

I asked you for evidence that Galaxus warehouses are substantively better.

Since you have provided no such evidence, I conclude that you have none.

I don’t think galaxus publishes their safety track record. We’ve established that Amazon is worse than most companies in terms of safety, worker abuse, union squashing, environment, and quality. It follows that most other companies are better than Amazon on some or all these aspects.

I’m not going to debate this with you any further, you’re free to believe and do what you want.

Then you have absolutely no basis for comparison, do you?

We've established nothing of the sort.

You have admitted you have no data. What are you basing your claim on? Sheer bigotry? Looks like it!

> I’m not going to debate this with you any further,

Blind assertion with no evidence is not a "debate".
