That is not true. Success in a job is not always defined by thinking outside the box and being creative. Often it is much simpler - show up to work on time, produce, add value as depicted in your job description. The people that do these things are the people at get the full time job at Amazon, become shift supervisors, etc. I have worked with people who started out at Amazon on the floor and are now high level managers of warehouses and software teams.
I've been to a couple of the Amazon warehouses in the US and it's hardly a sweatshop. You work a normal shift, you get a lunch break, at least minimum wage, etc. It is certainly a job far removed from what I am used to now as a software developer. It was more reminiscent of my time in the Navy but still not a bad job to have and an opportunity for those who take advantage of it.
yeah, with ambulances staged right outside when people keel over from heat stroke [1]
So many ambulances responded to medical assistance calls at the warehouse
during a heat wave in May, the paper said, that the retailer paid Cetronia
Ambulance Corps to have paramedics and ambulances stationed outside the
warehouse during several days of excess heat over the summer. About 15
people were taken to hospitals, while 20 or 30 more were treated right
there, the ambulance chief told The Call.
