Why is Amazon going out of their way to hire losers and degenerates?

No hatred involved. I'm genuinely curious why a company would make an effort toward hiring mentally ill people instead of the best qualified workers.

you don't need a genius to shuffle boxes around and drive in a caged forklift.

sooner or later unskilled laborers will be replaced by more automation

We live in an actual breakaway society, that's why.

You cannot step into an office in the Presidium district of San Francisco, and then go into an Amazon warehouse, and come out telling me the human race hasn't been effectively bisected.

This shit is getting very scary and few people seem to be giving it the proper amount of attention from the right angle.

I mean I know inequality isn't new, and that social classes aren't new, but the sheer number of people being included in these two camps of "pristine white collar / techie geeks" and "wrench monkeys" is getting institutionalized. Looking around at 18 I could tell who would "make it" and who wouldn't, looking back I was about 85% right which is way more accuracy than I'm comfortable with over 10-15 years of development.

That doesn't come out of a vacuum. We as a society bear the burden for each individual social failure, because there's literally no one else to be responsible.

Anyway, it's really the fact that there's like a social track that leads to working in an Amazon warehouse for the rest of your life and you can accidentally get on it at like age 15, and it's very hard to get off even at those early ages due to social momentum and the way expectations guide development. Likewise, I've been coasting doing literally nothing for years and years, making all kinds of fucked up life choices, and I'm still sitting comfortably in the middle class because I got on the right track at 18. I don't even really do anything other than look at spreadsheets and make wild guesses. It's very sad if you have the eyes to see it. If you don't, can't help ya.

It's actually tragic. Living in Redwood City and San Francisco was painful to my soul on more than one occasion. It's not like everyone's a model, and there are definitely the beastly engineer types, but you come out of an office where people are generally exactly what they want to be at the age of 24-26 and aren't held back by external factors like money or connections - and most of them are inhumanly attractive, though that's really just a SF/LA thing in general.

Then you walk outside and you see these defeated 40-50 year old's slopping food on trays at the restaurant across the street, the same dude you've seen every week collecting bottles at 60, some teenager who confides in you that he's pretty sure he's just totally fucked the second he graduates college due to the debt, cost of living, and few options to relocate aside from the military.

I mean you can go anywhere and see both camps, but seeing huge groups of them literally 5 feet away from each other living in totally different universes is profoundly painful to experience, again, if you have the eyes for it.

You don't want smart people for all jobs. The perfect worker for an Amazon warehouse job isn't some 135 IQ non-NPC who constantly asks himself if he could do better and most likely will quit after 3 months. It's not like being a genius makes you any better at being a human robot (actually, it might make you worse).
Also, hiring LGBT, people of color etc. is good PR.

People like this are actually favoured in low skill jobs.
They are easy to manipulate and can be instilled with a sense of pride at their wageslave job, because they have nothing else going for them.

They are a serf class. Many of them aren't great at productivity. But a long term slave is better than someone who will do good work for 6 months, get sick of your shit and ghost for a better job.

Warehouses, department stores, fast food etc love these kind of people.

It's just that it's definitely harder. And also I think you're understanding just how bad things really are for high IQ people, it's not just Amazon workplaces.

NY state has been sued for systematically denying high IQ applicants because of a high burnout rate.

Anything outside of a very highly technical field like mathematics, software engineering, or natural science is really made for 105 IQs in a sense. Even the fields and industries with a higher average also have higher rates of burnout and turnover. The fact is that even in technical fields that aren't math, software engineering, or natural science, you are more than likely to work under a 105 IQ, high EQ bottleneck somewhere up the management chain, who will effectively limit your contribution to things digestible to a 105 and give a natural edge on communication to your team members who are more cognitively aligned.

Wanting to be high IQ is the greatest joke God played on 20th century human beings.

Sorry, it was New London that I was thinking of for the police officers: https://abcnews.go.com/US/court-oks-barring-high-iqs-cops/story?id=95836

I think NYC got sued for a similar reason too, and some expose was done that suggested it might be a tendency nationwide.

Unironically based and psychopathpilled

I hate to admit it but we need this mentality to make the economy work. Still, dude, I wish I had that gene, cuz I just don't. I look at hiring for a rote position like that and all I see are the faces of my really sweet, naive old childhood friends on 40 year old bodies beaten down by years of wageslavery. It's too much for my tiny baby heart to handle.

That might be true, but all in all it's still a big advatange to be high IQ if you want to be more than a minimum wageslave in life. Use your high IQ to get a non-meme degree (STEM, finance, law etc.) or start a business.

I'm high IQ and it has literally never been a disadvantage for me. After high school I took a gap year and did a bit of low IQ wagecucking (waiter and slave at insruance company). Even at those jobs it was a slight advantage to be high IQ.

I would never have /madeit/ if I wasn't high IQ.
