No, you're not missing anything... that's exactly how the system works here in Peru, companies are monopolies and they are everywhere and the press is super sensationalist and without any good content... just driving people towards consumerism... people work 10 or 12 hours and are paid very little and without benefits or anything... and pray to God that nothing happens to you... or have an accident because they don't recognize you at all... and if your spine is damaged by being carrying excessive weight in the warehouses, they throw you out and that's it, it's that simple... the system here is structured to exploit the poor and obviously the richest rich... that's why I always advise everyone I can that working for your boss doesn't hurt you. is going to move forward!! You have to open your eyes and free yourself and work for your dreams and benefits for yourself, not those of your boss...
