Why do my boss want to fire me after being late just a few times?

This aint no fucken career job where I come in everyday wearing a turtle neck or a suite n tie with a big smile on my face, making 100k a year, all benefits, paid vacation days, health insurance, other benefits, paid time off, etc. No I get none of that and I make about half the amount to come in and bust my ass off. So you would think amazon would cut me some slack right? Nope, instead my boss gets pissy with me. “You can't be late one more time or else I am gonna cut your hours and if that doesn't suffice then I will have to terminate you” Well wtf I was only late 4-5 times in the last couple month, that's like once every 2 weeks, that's still 9 out of 10 days I come in on the days I work. So that means I am…

So you would think amazon would cut me some slack right? Nope, instead my boss gets pissy with me. “You can't be late one more time or else I am gonna cut your hours and if that doesn't suffice then I will have to terminate you” Well wtf I was only late 4-5 times in the last couple month, that's like once every 2 weeks, that's still 9 out of 10 days I come in on the days I work. So that means I am coming in 90% of the time, that's a friggen A- in my book! You guys should be congratulating me for coming in still and only making poverty wages at 17 an hour. Be a little bit more thankful that I am coming in and at least making an effort.

I mean amazon should expect me to be late once in awhile, at least a few times a month. If not and you want me to be there on time, then why not pay me more? I am dirt ass poor so I can't always be forsure If something is gonna happen that is going to cause me to be late. Like idk if when My car is gonna break down. Then I am gonna have to spend all of my savings to go get it fixed. Then I might have to miss a few days while its in the shop cause now how am I gonna get to work without a car? Maybe if you want me to come in so bad then why doesn't amazon come pick me up. They provide delivery service why not free ride service? Or at least make it dirt cheap. You think I have enough money for a damn uber? Hell no.

My car might also run out of gas. With these gas prices being sky high I am gonna have a hard time filling up my tank when its already costing me an arm and a leg. Maybe amazon should offer me some free gas cards once a week or even once in a while if thats all they can do. I know money is tight for them and they wanna cut every corner, bend us over every angle and extract as much money as they can. With jeff bezo worth 150 billion dollars, that probably equivalents to him, according to my calculations, about 300,000 dollars every nano second and he has to use a fraction of that to build a gagillion dollar rocket to fly it up to space. WHY? well why not just do it for shits and giggles and its mf jeff fucking thats why.

He gets to spend billions of dollars flying up to space While I am down here at the bottom making only 17 an hour. Thats like 1/gagillion of a fraction of what he makes, so yea what do you expect? You guys should be happy that I at least made it in 4 out of the 5 days this week and also should be congratulating me for my time and effort…

I Mean what do you guys here on reddit think? Do you think my manager is right about talking to me about being late too many times and threatening to fire me If I don't clean my act up or do you think I should let him know what I really think? Please let me know I am trying to stay at amazon but I am almost about to say fuck it and tell my manager what I really think about them. I think he should just late me be late a few times or if not and what's me to be on time then increase my pay.
