Obviously the top tier head employees do not see the actual workspace environment or all that is described on this video.... all they see its results and not what takes to get those results.

Which is the case far too often! Instead of writing an email stating that he “hopes that they are happy” he should pole them and find out what it’s really like and then make culture changes to reflect what he “thinks” working at Amazon should be like.

It is one thing to work in the fulfillment centers where conditions are just uber-stressful. But is is another thing to be a top-level exec, working directly for Bezos and feeling the sheer brunt of his force of personality, being pushed way beyond your mental reserves. Either way, you will have to be stronger than you ever have to work anywhere in Amazon.

I am sure Amazon is okay with a "high turnover" as it doesn't require them to give raises, sick time, health, or any other benefits. They just keep hiring people at the starting wage and never have to give them a raise because they are soon gone.

Uggh...I worked on concrete floors in places like this starting in my late teens. Picking and packing through my 20’s and 30’s making quota and even getting more money for producing over quota. That really helps me now as I have bad knees, slipped discs in my back, severe tendinitis including a huge spur that developed under my rotator cuff. The spurs grow to buffer the repetitive injury. My right arm is nearly useless and 2 vertebrae in my neck have collapsed. It was all about the speed and I was so rewarded for it in my 20’s being one of the fastest. I was warned by a female coworker in her 40’s and others about getting older and I just laughed. Now I am 44 and can barely move.

horrid working conditions is the price of cheap goods. You can't get behind workers while still demanding cheap prices and good service. You want the employees to not get exploited, and be paid a fair day's pay for a fair day's work? Be willing to accept higher prices and not the massive discounts. It starts with you the consumer.

I agree. I've been calling this economy where illegals and H1Bs are used to replace Americans, jobs are sent overseas, and working conditions get worse, all supposedly to make prices lower (which they aren't as low as they could be, as it's clear it's more to get executive pay higher) a "snake eating its tail economy". Eventually , except for the elites like Bezos, we'll ALL get devoured.

universal basic income Its the system that takes labor savings and transfers that over to the people that companies put out of work. It would be a federally mandated system kind of like the tax system. If a company hires actual people, they get the "robot tax" waived. This system allows people to get incomes as an opportunity cost as companies replace their workers for saving on labor, but also contributing to a better work-life balance.

Then around 3:30 3:45 here get your final break but you got to remember you have to put in guac time so it was only 10 minutes but don't even think about going to the bathroom at Amazon because if you go to the bathroom and your production goes down you can lose your job that way too Amazon is an absolute joke I will never work there again👹👺🤥🤥

It's intense.. 70 hour weeks.. they have a point system which points u for everything even if u have a doctor's note. I was to be on bed rest for 5 days but only 2 days is all HR would allow u to take in a row and yes u get 1 point per day missed.. they have no cafeteria literally pass out bc u have no food and if u go to the bathroom and soon inactive for 90 seconds they come look for u and probably get fired.. sounds great right?

Dont work there or any company if you disagree with management policy toward their workers. If large amount of positions in Amazon remain unfilled, they will have to make a change for the better, wont they ?.

Maybe people need to start boycotting amazon! I know it's easy to say, but it can be done! They would have no choice but to start treating employees like humans!! Without employees customers can't receive orders, without customers there is no need for employees! The average person in numbers has A LOT OF POWER!!!!!

My advice, don't even apply for a job at a company that treats it's employees this way. That would go for American Airlines reservation centers also. Pretty much the same deal as far as the way they treat their employees. I, unfortunately worked at one of their centers and was asked about a bathroom break I took. There was nothing exceptionally long about that bathroom break and it wasn't a recurring theme that I always went at the same time. I went pee and took the normal amount of time it takes to go pee, but was lectured that I should try to go pee during my scheduled breaks! Really!?

Lol 80hr work weeks where at cause we not even getting 20hrs right now, but they keep say ing peak season coming up where we max at 60hrs. But i did get sick turned out i had pneumonia the hosptial took me out of school and work(guess where) and i lost almost all of my upt(unpaid time off) which isnt exclusive to sick days (we dont get those) upt is used for sick days vacation or just days you dont wanna come in. So it was looked at as if i just didnt wanna come in to work as oppose to me being really sick unable to.

@@n1sugarbaby69 it gets easier to get hours if you learn more. For example at my sort center I learned to do everything from pit, to closing, to even running the floor as a PA. The more you know how to do, the more hours you can-get because you can fill in anywhere they need people. Just my thought. Helped me get accumulate more sick time.

I was there three months, and I left along with four other co-workers when they refused another a day off to go to her brother’s funeral. I got a low performance rating as well when I opted not to do overtime one night, I did it every other time I was asked before then, the one time I said no I got sanctioned for it
