Nice super-specific Amazon benefits ad my guy. Totally not sketchy at all

I’m sure you can take them up on that benefits offer after 50-60 hours of warehouse work. Or 50-60 hours of peeing in bottles and pooping in bags. Learn to code after getting those crumbs.

These workers are being abused. My friend was abused. And people like you are so weak they can’t even fathom that something is wrong

Please also note that management KNOWS if a worker is not scanning packages, or spending too long in the bathroom, and will ping their mobile device until they get back on track. People have reported that a manager will physically visit you within 3 minutes if you’re delayed. They could see these bodies on their surveillance system for 20-30 minutes. And they saw these bodies AND DID NOT CALL FOR PARAMEDICS.

I also didn’t mention the warehouse workers threatened with termination if they didn’t work in the path of a TORNADO. Warehouse workers who are now dead because of said tornado (prompting an investigation by the House).

“Bit tough to believe” yeah sure. You dislike Amazon and haven’t heard of these deaths. That’s easy to believe

Drivers pee in bottles and poop in bags to stay on time. The warehouse workers work schedules that hurt organs and tendons, and are close to wearing diapers like meat packers need to. I have a friend that got hurt working the less strenuous jobs at a warehouse.

Warehouse workers sometimes die packing the boxes as fast as they do. Then managers force workers to work next to the corpse for hours or be fired. They have mental health booths or “suicide booths” people jokingly call them, where you can sit inside and cry or clam down if you need to.

Edit: Deaths, most of which management ignored until a worker found the body and called 911 https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2019/oct/17/amazon-warehouse-worker-deaths
