Why is Amazon not present in Poland? [57]
1. It is worse than working in the Post Office or in a factory - where there is comaraderie and banter/ chat to pass the time.
Yes, that's why jobs in Post Office are very desired in less developed regions (basically all small towns).
It is an unsustainable model and produces nothing, just distributes.
It's not up us to worry about Amazon making profit. Services are equally important as production, especially, that with technological progress less people is needed in production.
Therefore we have more roads, more transport, more noise and light pollution. For what? By your admission - so that other countries can get their post free cheap goods.
Is it such a big problem, that few more cars will travel on the highway Poznań - Germany and Wrocław - Germany? They will have to pay for it anyway.
Again, it suggests that Poland is the dumping ground - and "those Poles will work for less".
Of course these are not R&D jobs, but still jobs. Germans will miss them.
Of course it damages local competition. I take it you do not run a small business?
Average salary ratio to GDP in Poland is too low, so little extra competition for workers, especially unskilled shouldn't be a problem.
The point is not the pay. The pay is low. A lot of people in Poland work for low pay - and that is irresponsible of the employers and they can get away with it.
And still you're against extra competition for workers? Have you heard about supply and demand?
