The Nature of Exploitation

A guy pissed me off at work today. He treated me like I was retarded.

That guy, I'll call him Larry, has the highest picking rate at Amazon Fresh, and of course, I'm jealous. (...I delude myself into thinking, if only my rate is fast enough, I'll have job security...)

However, Larry has no right to call me dumb for not knowing how to use the damage tool on the rf gun.

Frankly, I'd rather be homeless than take shit from a guy like Larry.

Fortunately, Larry is not my boss.

Though Roger, my young friend at Amazon, uses Larry as a mentor, and as a result, Roger has transformed into one of the fastest pickers there.

 Unfortunately, Roger's ego is also becoming unmanageable. I keep telling Roger that picking at Amazon is not an education.

It's a form of exploitation.

The machine turns,
The failure of the weak
Fuels
The muscle of the strong
Till the strong
Become the weak
And the cycle begins
Again
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

But whatever..I'm just a little oversensitive at times.
