No, but the way they track productivity does make it incredibly difficult to get off task for even a couple of minutes. For some tasks they actually have games installed where you compete against another working group. The winner generally gets longer breaks, while the loser get less desirable assignments. Amazon is fucking Thunderdome that sells dildos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 A friend of mine used to work for Amazon in their EHS and showed me a video of a picker who literally shit their pants and shook the turd out of their pant leg on the picking floor. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see it myself. The guy got fired, but there's no way this is is healthy working culture that can produce such things.

Guest Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 My wife told me that the Walmart delivery driver accidentally put his pee bottle in our groceries a couple months back. My 11 year old was the one who pulled it out of the bag. I think he washed his hands like 27 times that day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They deliver in plastic grocery bags, I believe. Guessing it just fell in there... My wife asked if she should report it, and I’m like...the guy is super nice, I don’t think it was on purpose. Just toss out the stuff that was in that bag and don’t ruin the guy’s job over an accident. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost_MH Posted March 25, 2021 Share Posted March 25, 2021 I don't think responding to that tweet is working out very well for Amazon. Amazon denies stories of workers peeing in bottles, receives a flood of evidence in return WWW.THEVERGE.COM Amazon fails to hold back the tide.

Amazon is fucking Thunderdome that sells dildos. Why are you guys sending me random crap in the mail? Today and yesterday I received packages of shit I did not order. And considering what's been inside these things... it looks like shit no one would ever order. Cheap, Chinese knockoff knick-knacks.

They track units/hour, but it resets if you don't scan anything for a certain period of time. Each task has a different expected scan rate. For example, we are expected to move 14 pallets from staging areas to trailer loading areas per hour. Operations is alerted any time someone dips below that number. If I want to go to the bathroom I need to be in the 20s because a 2 minute break will drop me from 14 to 4 even if I am averaging above 14 for my shift up to that point. That's also why the leading reported injuries are "struck by" incidents. People are literally being run over by heavy equipment. 12 minutes ago, cusideabelincoln said: Why are you guys sending me random crap in the mail?
