Americans want their products cheap, and it comes at the cost of really exploiting the workers with unrealistic goals. It's the only way. Have you read the horror stories about what it's like to work for Amazon? They're in a huge warehouse and they have to race around picking items off shelves and there's a set time limit for doing each one, based on how long it takes to walk (fast) through the warehouse, which is pretty unrealistic. They can't even use the bathroom. And in some towns, that's the best job that's come along in a while. They are grateful when Amazon decides to set up shop there. Sometimes these companies call the workers "independent contractors" and get them from temp agencies, so they don't have to give them any benefits and they're not responsible when they get hurt. It's awful what's going on. Hang in there and get a good education so you don't have to do this forever!
