Recently I've noticed Amazon has begun it's propaganda campaign that makes working there seem fun and enjoyable. I've heard nightmare stories of people having to piss in bottles because they don't get breaks and micromanaging from hell. Sounds like a horrible place to work and I can't imagine the pay is stellar. Bezos would replace everyone with robots if he could but until then he's going to continue to put billions in his own pockets while paying his employees shitty wages because that is what Amazon does.

I don’t doubt it’s not a great atmosphere to work in, but I also don’t think it’s a slave ship. If you look at the level of employee they can source, I’m sure these people don’t really want to work all that hard. I know they pay upwards of $20 an hour, which is great money vs fast food work, but they get the same type of employee. They get the ones that believe they deserve constant breaks, immediate health care, and safe spaces.

i call bullshite. With the attitude of Americans these days, this would not even get near to happening. This is probably a fish story from some buddies talking about how busy he was he just decided to pee in a bottle so he could get off early. This isnt Communist China...yet.

Most companies would replace unskilled low IQ workers with robots if they could, for good reason.

The robot doesn’t complain about cleaning the snake machine, doesn’t talk like a idiot, isn’t rude.

Most surgeons piss in bottles. How do you think they can do a 12 hour surgery?

Should we pay them more?

The one where the woman's kid yells mommies work is so cringe it hurts. Like how out of touch do you have to be to think that was a good idea

I would imagine the skills required to work on the Amazon warehouse floor are very, very low. It's all computerized and you are given an app that tells you not only where every product is located, but the fastest way to find it. If you can follow a map on a phone, that's all the skills you need.

My wife's Aunt used to work there and they don't have AC in the warehouses. They also have a quota of boxes they need to fill per hour. If they don't meet that quota, they are written up. You get written up 3 times, you're fired. I know this because she got fired for missing her quota.

Amazon isn't all that profitable relative to size.
Retail operates on razor thin margins.
