Exactly this. I had so many colleagues that were always complaining to me about how they think our boss treated them unfair, and I always said "Don't tell me, just talk to the boss." There were two different managers who thought they need to scream at me, and both times I waited until they were finished screaming, and I just told them that if they would ever scream at me again I just turn around and go home immediately. They never screamed at me again but were continuing to treat some of my colleagues like shit and were still screaming at them for trivial reasons. People just need to understand that they need to stand up for themselves, and stop complaining to your colleagues or friends on how unfair life is, and that soon you will quit your job, this time for sure. :)

As you're speaking from your own experience, have you already worked in an Amazon warehouse ?

> I've never asked to take a sick day / leave early for medical reasons, you just take one.

It's naive to think your priviledged situation applies to everyone, especially to amazon warehouse workers.
