Complaining about Amazon and my brother-in-law

I have been in contact with Amazon since I graduated from college, and it has been five years now. My feelings for Amazon can be described in this sentence: Even if it abuses me a thousand times, I will still treat it like my first love.

After following Jeff (we affectionately call him brother-in-law) through all the ups and downs for so many years, we finally saw him sit on the chair of the world's richest man and be able to brag about it with us.

I was proud and my nature was released. Before I could even warm up to the title of the richest man, the " cheating scandal " that broke out a while ago pulled my brother-in-law off the altar of "the world's richest man". He also gave his ex-wife a huge fortune of 35.6 billion US dollars. It hurts to think about it... The money that was taken from us sellers in the past few years went into other people's pockets. My brother-in-law patted his shiny forehead and suddenly had an idea. It's time to let the "children" all over the world comfort me, the injured "old father". So, the sudden incidents that followed made some of the hard-earned money that the sellers had earned with great difficulty go quietly into the pocket of our "old father". Congratulations to Jeff for getting the title of " the most deceiving father in history ".

to be honest,

The new love doesn't look that good.

The traces of plastic surgery are too obvious.

A bit like the "cat-faced old lady" that's been circulating online

never mind,

Maybe he thinks that women who have had plastic surgery on their faces have a special kind of beauty.

The seller is the chive seedlings that my brother-in-law has been raising for a long time, and when the time comes, he will come to harvest them. Some of them are cut down to the roots, which is really miserable, but we have to admit that as the top 1 e-commerce platform in the world, it has the best reputation and traffic, just like building a shed to protect you from the wind and rain, with all the resources inside, which is better than being exposed to the sun and wind outside.

A while ago, there were a lot of doubts about advertising costs . What is the specific situation?

The original daily budget was $10 for advertising. Once the money was used up, the advertising would no longer continue. This was a normal process. But Amazon was so ruthless that they thought $10 was too little, so they had to give you an overdraft. So the daily budget became a monthly budget, from $10 to $300. Anyway, if you spend more today, you can spend less tomorrow. That’s what the customer service told me when I asked her. If you don’t pay attention to the advertising costs, Amazon’s advertising costs are likely to exceed the $300. If you insist on getting it back, it’s ok, but those with deep pockets won’t care. With so many sellers around the world, how much of this advertising money will Amazon take?

Although Amazon's other revenue, mainly advertising revenue , has accounted for a relatively small proportion of total revenue in the past three years, accounting for only 4% of total revenue in 2018, it is Amazon's fastest growing business. In 2018, this revenue increased by 117% from 2017 to US$10.1 billion, far exceeding the 29% revenue growth of its main business, online retail. Writing here reminds me that I have to turn off the ads!

Unlike other e-commerce platforms, if both Buyers and Sellers are regarded as Amazon's children, then Sellers are adopted and Buyers are biological children . There is a huge unfairness between the two. Biological children can return the goods without reason, and can also complain that it is the seller's responsibility. The result of this judgment depends on how smart the seller is and how he finds flaws to prove his innocence. And this comment, after doing too much on Amazon, you will meet all kinds of strange people with strange brain circuits. Aren't these people all Aquarius? ! (I don't mean to criticize Aquarius, Aquarians are all very smart, and their thinking is very unique) I am afraid that these people will leave comments! Faced with those negative reviews that are groundless, unreasonable, and unable to refute, you must carry a condom with you...Emojis are refreshing, powerful, and safe. Anyway, foreigners don't understand Chinese

— "You have the nerve to call it a smart desk lamp. I've only used it for half a year and it doesn't light up no matter how hard I try!"

(It’s a miracle that it can still light up after using it for half a year without charging)

What to do? Fight back with Hua Tuo emojis

—"I test drove my son's car, and it didn't have good shockproof function. It collapsed. When I went to customer service to argue with them, they turned the tables on me!"

What to do? Use the Big Brother emojis to fight back:

— "This blush doesn't make me feel like a 13-year-old girl!"

What to do? Use the follow-up emoji package to fight back:

— "It's too short. The experience next door is better."

What to do? Use the forgiveness emojis to fight back:

I was young at that time and thought it would be a great thing to work at Amazon, but of course this idea didn’t last long.

Do you remember another name for Amazon warehouses? "Sweatworks" was given by the media at the time. It is said that Amazon warehouse workers have to urinate in bottles during work because they are afraid that if they go to the toilet, they may not be able to meet their workload targets. If employees report that they are not feeling well or take a break, they will be punished. There is a kind of "intentional Darwinism" in Amazon's corporate culture, that is, the principle of survival of the fittest. Employees do not have enough rest time, and the management of employees' working hours is too strict, so the "bottle toilet" comes from this. And there is a saying among Amazon employees: "If you are an excellent Amazon employee, then you will become an Amazon robot .

There are so many things I want to complain about, I really want to make a complaint album!

But even if you complain, you still have to make money. In recent years, I have seen many friends who have worked at Amazon, from scratch , from a company with only a few people to a company with several warehouses, dozens of employees, renting office buildings in luxurious locations, driving luxury cars and living in luxury houses.

Although Amazon has its shortcomings, it is also the starting point for you to get started .
