I really don't understand why companies (and everyone else, for that matter) treat people in these jobs like garbage.

Yes, it's physical labour. Yes, the hiring pool is big. But it's demanding physical labour, dammit, and without these people, Amazon - or any other company that does this - would be nothing.

Shipping and fulfillment is literally the core of what Amazon is. So is making burgers at McDonald's. So is stacking shelves at Walmart. These companies literally could not function if it weren't for people doing these jobs, and I feel like "we can just hire someone else" is no excuse for not recognizing that.
