Whistleblower: Amazon let off the hook after worker’s death

[@kyleolejarczyk4584]

$28,000 is nothing to amazon, and yet they think a man's life is not worth that much. Pretty sad.

[@arcadegamer9546]

What's really sick is that Amazon, like most big corporations, had a life insurance policy on their workers (like property insurance) and collected at least $100,000. Not a penny goes to the families when these deaths on corporate jobs occur.

For real???

[@sunkissedprincess9660]

Amazon needs to be held accountable.

[@jonlightyear2000]

How??

[@karlbaratta9086]

Amazon, like many corporations, cares about nothing except shareholder value. Pretty sad.

[@jonlightyear2000]

It’s so bad. Something has to be done

Can you do an investigative piece on Green Oaks Mental Health Facility in Dallas the reviews speak for themselves from abuse of patients to death and involuntary electro-shock therapy it's the stuff out of a horror movie. I went there once worst experience of my life almost died twice.

[@jonlightyear2000]

Did you get it looked into? My dad said patients with regular visitors always get treated better.

"No training, no safety" Hmm, my 3 hours worth of training videos says otherwise

@@wesleythomas7705 When you apply to work at Amazon, they make you go through a few long training videos. Then, of course, you do a bit of in person training. The fact is, he said "no training, no safety," which of course is false

Common sense is just gone in this world 🌍

[@dkfsamurai]

It's not gone, the rich and powerful wilfully neglect basic decency to generate extra wealth they don't need and at the end they will pay even less taxes by hiring lobbyist, lawyers and accountants. It's disgusting.

nicely said.

What are you talking about none of y’all making any sense

[@deven6518]

I'm sorry Terry, that was just bad practice on your part. Complacency is one of the killers when working with equipment. I've work with equipment, I know. After a while the big equipment is just like your car, you get used to it. Not enforcing it it a different thing from not providing it, which they should still be held accountable for. It is a problem in warehouses to be noted though, that as automation and equipment goes up, accidents increase. It's a sad middle ground, but the options are to go fully automated and fire most workers, or become a sweatshop.

You have no idea what Amazon is like besides the machines.

@@Delightfullala yes yes, but you have no idea what Amazon is like besides the machines either. Judge much?

[@Delightfullala]

I worked at Amazon and know first hand.

[@Delightfullala]

So actually I do know !

[@deven6518]

@@Delightfullala didn't understand the comment did you. You have no idea about my experiences which Is why I say that you judge too much and threw your words back at you. I said I've worked with equipment but tell me, what exactly is my experience that gives me reason for that statement? I'd expect you to give an answer to prove that you're not just speaking out your arse when you said that I have no idea. Maybe your arse is your mouth, idk, maybe it is. Man 15% of the time women do something that really couldn't be done without them but the rest of the time they're like drums, give them a tiny tap of life and they go crazy with incoherent nonesense. Are you a drum? Why do I have no idea what it's like?

A whistle blower is some one of prominence like Edward Snowden. This guy is just a snitch.

[@loboswildin]

This is ridiculous. How this is Amazon's fault is what I'm trying to figure out here. Maintenance workers are not actual Amazon employees. They are 3rd party vendors. I'm sure this poor guy was trained properly, but he failed to implement a key safety tool that would've prevented this from happening. But it's Amazon so there's always a story.

[@Delightfullala]

trust me it’s Amazon’s fault! You can’t even complain without being asked where you was what you was doing and telling you that you could lose your job because you have been missing for 5 minutes.
