I work at Amazon they treat you based on the volume they have for the day so at peak they do not bother you at all. Once that volume slows down they will scrutinize your every move and labor track you until you go crazy .

You get the feel immediately as you start working in the first hour. The ambassador is asking you questions you already answered, and you answer while slowing down or stopping to communicate . What follows is th supervisor telling you how terrible your work was just now. And then repeat. That’s just the first day You get a point next week either due to traffic or not knowing the off highway routes to work, and you learn that your performance is measured by machines and you don’t know how. The next week is followed by getting frustrated and stressed out by everything. Never even knowing your colleagues because you don’t have enough time to communicate with them while you’re getting hounded for low performance. Later on, you start getting pains in all kinds of joints and accept that this is your life now, read other Amazonians to make yourself a bit better or decide to work a little more till you’re hired for another job. It’s not a complicated lifestyle

Any CEO or employer worth anything would first understand the position and secondly not expect anybody to do anything he wouldn’t be able too. 1 month in there as a nobody working under his own rules and he’d be weeping like a baby.

Since their shipping locations are called the "fulfillment", maybe all Bezos is saying is, an employee gets "the fulfillment" they've so desired (They get the job they applied for). If an employee claims that working conditions are terrible, they get transported to "the future" (area of "the fulfillment" with conditions so bad that it'll rapidly age them in no time, instantly zap most of their life away, and cripple them right into restless, destitute retirement. That is "super fun" for Bezos. (i.e., sociopathological satisfying), espec. where he often is, in a cartoonish bubble in the state of deep denial, in a wildly make-believe utopia!

I use to work for Amazon first 5 weeks we had mandatory OT 50 hours a week for first 5 weeks there. But after that it was guaranteed 40 hour weeks 4 10 hour shifts. 3 days in a row off. Clock in/out same time with a 3 min grace period or something like that. The work itself was pretty tough, they wanted u to hit numbers, I was able to hit the numbers almost every single day, but one day I missed the quota by a couple boxes and I was talked to about it in a respectable tone. Once I came back from break a couple minutes late and was looked at by manager with her looking at her watch as well as me, lol. Not terrible but not cake. However reliable paycheck for sure.

He's a creep. He is a typical CEO. Workers aren't people, and ALWAYS need to work harder, work more, skip breaks, and accept as low of pay as possibly can be given to them. It isn't that he is clueless, he just views workers to exist as profit makers, that's it. He's the type of CEO that would pay his workers .10 a day if he could get away with it, and force them onto legal contracts, binding them there, and lock them inside a warehouse or factory, forbidding bathroom or water breaks. Amazon is the modern Triangle Shirtwaist Factory.

what he said is basically nothing, just a normal guy with a brilliant and lucky idea that made money. the rest is on the managers and supervisors that basically run the company and they treat people miserably. not everyone with a big success like him can be a role business model or a mentor, he's just a normal boss who doesn't care or maybe doesn't want to know.

Lloyd Cool it's not just the luck of the draw with a good idea. Do you know how hard it is to build a company from the ground up into a global empire? He easily initially worked more hours than the guys in the fulfillment centers. Don't bite from the hand that feeds you. I work at Amazon over the summers while in school and it is what it is: work. Work with no skills required and decent pay considering that and great benefits.

People who say he ducked the question are wrong , what he is saying is, sure, it's a lot of hard work but it's designed for people who want to do the hard work as usually high tech businesses require lots of hard work and the ability to constantly learn new things. So in other words, if you don't like working at Amazon then it may be not the right job for you, it could be a better option to switch jobs when you get the chance... also, he was the one creating all of those job positions in the first place, people often treat jobs as if they came from heaven or the government, all of those investors and entrepreneurs that you all hate so much, well, those are the guys responsible for creating your job position in the first place

I will be quitting after the holiday... my 8 hour shift turned into a mandatory 12 hours... our restroom breaks are timed (they literally close it off after so long, and it’s not for cleaning) I go to school full time, and I have a two year old. HR told me last night to “deal with it.” Time to by soooo slow, and they cut our breaks. It’s an entire mess in there! He hype his company up, and it’s something totally different when you get in there. Oh, and let’s not talk about how in bad shape your body and feet will be in. It’s sooo hot in there (and it’s the winter). The “ambassadors”, problem solvers are the only ones who walk around there cocky, because that’s their reality... the managers don’t do anything, but sit on their phones or in the office eating all night. Only come out when shift is over. I’m thankful to have a job, but I’m going to dismiss myself after Christmas.

Is a lack of interest in its employees and if you have employees that are in position to make changes for those employees who are struggling to make not on the ends meet to have a better life for oneself then they should take into consideration all the hard work that's being put into the company into the organization and be rewarded for their hard work and Excellence. That's what I mean about caring for your employees. Not checking your hundreds of millions of dollars and buying mansions and buying hookers for your pleasure while other struggle to meet ends meet.
