nottheonion is on fire this afternoon. First I see the anti-helmet lawyer died on a motorcycle without a helmet. Now this!

There is something poetic here...

Fully agree... It just so happens that preventing burnout would be a money-saver long-term. But we all know those fucks can't see past the closest quarterly earnings.

He literally specifically mentions that you can be called in the next day with as little as 16 hours notice and talks about how horrible that would be if you actually had a family to care for. This kind of comment implies either severe lack of reading comprehension or that the article wasn't read at all.

The title reads that way. The article and this guy's story is actually one of the most realistic looks at Amazon warehouse work that I've read. The dude literally spent most of the time comparing his experience to if he'd actually needed the job to support a family and he concludes that it is fucked up.

You sure you even read it?

It's one of the most vicious things about depression actually. You feel depressed/burnt out so you move less, moving less makes you feel more depressed, so you move less.

Exercise is one of the best things to combat the low feelings, but combatting the low feelings can feel physically impossible.

Jobs should have built in exercise schedules. You won't get your bonus if you don't get a 15 minute walk in every 3-4 hours! It would honestly do a ton for productivity and overall happiness. And yet we all sit here scratching our heads as if there is no answer to what causes depression and burnout.

I love the framing that blames the public while also including the line:

>the industry plans to triple plastic production by 2050.

Lolololololol. Make it illegal and there will be less plastic. We all have to get uncomfortable to fix this. Single use plastics are AN ACTUAL PROBLEM and the only way they'll stop getting used is if they stop being made available.
