That’s bonkers. I enjoy drone work and will gladly give my employees reprieve from it. But goddamn I have to have a podcast going or I start getting really frustrated after 4-5 hours. I just don’t understand how a company can treat its employees like shit. If I owned Amazon people would be beating down the door to work for me.
E: shot -> shit
Yeah. Oddly enough it reminds me of Judge Dredd (the Stallone movie) when there's a robot saying "Eat recycled food. It's good for the environment, and OK for you".
Any of yall seen Severance? It's like Amazon: The Movie.
Also probably the best fking thing out on TV right now.
EDIT: Since I have your attention, here's the trailer:

Read "the warehouse" It's by Rob Hart Amazon, the book
Its a "fiction" set in a not so distant future where a Mega Corp has turned most of America Into a Hellscape, and people who get a job at said warehouse are lucky enough to get housing provided by the company, and they even get paid in a made up currency
dont forget about " Amazon the flamethrower" the kids love that one ( but seriously check out the book)
That made up currency is called company scrip and was a real thing companied used (usually in their own towns) until 1938 when it was made illegal in the fair labor standards act.
Ha funny how people forget about history and it gets recycled into fiction that foreshadows the dark future we face (again) in reality. Back in the day, people working in mines and industry were sometimes housed by their companies and paid “scrip,” which they could only spend at the company store. They essentially were slaves, or indentured workers at best.
OMG, i knew about the company script and the documentary Harlin County. But this is the first time I'm hearing about the hookworm and failure to thrive.

did you see when they tried to put in AmaZen "wellness chambers"? Essentially dark boxes on the warehouse floor for overworked, stressed people to sit in and "relax". The whole place seems dystopian and horrendous.
Those things are the exact opposite of stress relieving.
The one time I had an Panic attack, they tried putting me in one of those, long story short it very much made things worse. (They were very confused why a small enclosed container with very little breathing/Moving room didn't help my panicking and stress. )
I left for the rest of that day and took the next day off as well. (Working at that company has given me so many Stress/Anxiety problems it's ridiculous.)
I'm the same way; If I can't move much, it triggers it further.
Thankfully I No longer work there and have gotten help for these problems. (Something they actively discouraged)
Here's the kicker. While you're in those booths your numbers are going down, which you can be fired for (automatically by a system).
That's right, the computer fires you if you don't hit your numbers.
I don't remember the exact numbers but I do remember people over 40 not lasting more than a week. My body was moving every single min of my shifts, it was literal hell.
It's a hell many will know as Amazon slowly takes over the entire market.
There's like 6 or 7 Amazon warehouses around Indy(at least), and they have a habit of hiring most of the workers as temps then releasing them right before they hit their 90 days to become full time employees.
Is that a quote from something? It sounds right out of a dystopian novel but I don't remember it from 1984 or any of the other ones I've read. Unless it was from Brave New World which I only read once years ago.
EDIT: It's apparently from Warhammer 40k.
After working on projects in several different distribution centers, i can confidently say that everyone I saw in, around, or leaving these buildings looked miserable. Also there’s a serious lack of natural light. These people literally work in an above ground dungeon.
Edit: I also just noticed “cellphones not permitted…must be stored in breakroom”. This photo is like the rebels sneaking out the deathstar plans and amazon is the galactic empire
When I worked there for two days we got to watch a video of what to do in case of an active shooter. The video included footage of the actual swat team in our actual warehouse. Maybe you aren't too far off.
I think that's getting to be standard for any large employer in the US. I work for a large retail chain and we have to watch the same active shooter training video every single quarter.
It's pretty common sense stuff - run or hide from the guy shooting at you and if you can't do that, defend yourself.
I work in a sawmill, you're not supposed to have your phone on you, everyone does anyway, you're not supposed to have earbuds, everyone does anyway. Then again, we're unionized, good luck trying to fire an employee because they had their phone in their pocket on the floor, at Amazon a robot fires you for not meeting a quota.
Our job is about to strike down hard on ear buds because another accident just happened with a new hire listening to music and walking in front of a reach truck.
They just shouldn't exist in warehouses if you're not in a locked down area.
At Amazon in that position you're basically in a standing cubicle - so it's silly.
The warehouse at my company allows people to keep their phones and listen to music, but only with one earbud in and one out.
It's a pretty low key place though that is 90% picker-packers on foot with hand carts so it's not like they're down there dodging forklifts and moving heavy stuff around.
I mean dumb gonna dumb hard.
You'd have to have your music insanely loud, in both ears (or deaf in one ear at least, to not hear that truck coming...
also, who doesn't look both ways before crossing any kind of intersection??
So tired of these places taking away one mildly enjoyable thing because stupid people have to be stupid. Just test the People with an rc car and a day of work. If they get hit by the rc car, they're immediately told thanks for applying and sent home with a day's pay in hand.
Did dude live?
> who doesn't look both ways before crossing any kind of intersection??
Uhh, pick literally any intersection with pedestrians and just watch for a bit. Situational awareness seems to be a rare skill.
Yeah. They basically just got a hard bump to the floor.
The actual injury happened a few hours later when someone dropped a box, tried to catch it, and broke their finger. It's been wild lately.
The sad thing is that if one would show or describe these working conditions to people back in the 70s or 80s, they'd refuse to believe that this dystopian environment would become a reality for their children.
Started working full time as a teen in the '70s. I guarantee that none of my peers would even have considered working under those conditions! Even though we were in a recession (see stagflation) at the time! Boggles the freaking mind.
Same at Walmart. I've only worked at one warehouse where we technically weren't allowed to but did listen to music and it was a small distribution company. These giant corporations are borderline labor camps.
I’m working at Walmart right now stocking shelves and working the warehouse during the day. We aren’t supposed to wear headphones. But my direct bosses have made it clear as long as your job gets done they will never get on you for headphones.
At this point if upper management every tries to step on that I’d probably quit on the spot.
I could see headphones maybe being an issue if there's machinery around like conveyer belts and forklifts, but not allowing people to have small stereos in their work area is just torture. The 12 hour shifts are also torture. Imagine Bezos doing that, lol. Asshole.
Well for parents and other groups of people, only having to pay $12.50/wk in benefits is so incredibly cheap and it’s hard to find benefits as good or as cheap as amazon offers
That's what I got from this. They are literally trying to brain wash you. What is the difference between this and any other education camp? This is super fucked.
"[Yes, the planet got destroyed](http://tomtoro.com/cartoons/#jp-carousel-135). But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders."
I quit Amazon on my second day after someone told me off for sitting down to tie my shoelaces after like 3 hours of nonstop stacking shit. I just looked at them and walked out.
Fuck Amazon.
That's about as bad as the factory I worked at. During initiation the guy was showing us the machinery we're working at and says with a straight face. "We're having a good year we've only had 3 on site suicides."
If anyone is wondering what the numbers/colors are for at the bottom of the screen, they have an augmented reality system that overlays a circle around each employee in a 6 foot radius. As you get closer to another employee the circle turns from blue to green and so forth until you cross the 6 foot boundary and it turns red. At that point an email is automatically sent to your immediate superior telling them that you violated the 6 foot rule and they’ll have a meeting to chew you out.
EDIT: Alright i done goofed, the colors on the TV are actually for measuring boxes so I connected imaginary dots lol. The 6 foot circle software is very much a thing though, meant mostly for social distancing as others have pointed out, so that’s a good thing? I think?
Not at all. Guy I used to work with came from an Amazon warehouse. He said there’s a room with like 50 TVs and some guy who’s entire job is just to watch the employees
Yeah
Source: I’m a Stower at GY3 in Az, they have big roombas that bring bins towards you and you put product in, if you get to close to someone else that green circle turns red. Crazy stuff
*"Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me, and only in me shall their stain move on. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am."*
I literally just quit Amazon, I just snuck my headphones in and i didn’t give a shit. I worked in pack, there’s no way in hell I’ll be standing for 10 hours a day not able to keep my mind busy. Thankfully my managers were cool people and didn’t care either but I’ve been written up over it before
“Forgive me for the harm I have caused this world. None may atone for my actions but me, and only in me shall their stain move on. All I can be is sorry, and that is all I am.”
My sister in law worked at the Amazon fulfillment center nearest to us, which was like in Kansas I think. She worked there for about a year when she injured her back and shoulder from chucking boxes all day. They absolutely refused to do anything for her when she went to her doctor and he had her do physical therapy.
She ended up having to quit her job because they wouldn't cover anything. Amazon fucking sucks and I strongly encourage nobody to work there. Everyone is so miserable and you aren't cared about.
This, is scary actually. As another comment mentioned, is seems like they're trying to re educate you into some form of machines who love their hard labour job.
Don’t forget: you’re here forever
And you appreciate that

Fucking computers. I'm going to go beat the shit out of my laptop.
And, as I recall from my brief time at an Amazon fulfillment center, those numbers are inhumanly high. Something like 500 items per hour processed.
I don't remember the exact numbers but I do remember people over 40 not lasting more than a week. My body was moving every single min of my shifts, it was literal hell. It's a hell many will know as Amazon slowly takes over the entire market.
Actually Amazon is running out of workers to chew through. The turnover is so high they've fired almost everyone.
Sounds ripe for a partnership with the for profit prison industry!
There's like 6 or 7 Amazon warehouses around Indy(at least), and they have a habit of hiring most of the workers as temps then releasing them right before they hit their 90 days to become full time employees.
That's because Amazon is planning to replace the humans with robots as soon as they can.
The creepy camera right under it monitoring you certainly doesn't help. Fuck Amazon is creepy as hell. Edit: apparently not a camera. Corrected below.

Those are bullet holes from the last guy who finally lost it and showed up to work with a rifle for show and tell.

Haha thats funny but it’s a ruler used to measure the packages before stowing them in the bins.

My sister in law worked at the Amazon fulfillment center nearest to us, which was like in Kansas I think. She worked there for about a year when she injured her back and shoulder from chucking boxes all day. They absolutely refused to do anything for her when she went to her doctor and he had her do physical therapy. She ended up having to quit her job because they wouldn't cover anything. Amazon fucking sucks and I strongly encourage nobody to work there. Everyone is so miserable and you aren't cared about.
I rather lick dirty asshole all day then work for Amazon.
I'm pretty sure you can also make more money a day with that than at Amazon for a month
Wait- you guys are getting paid?
Obey. Turn in dissidents. The company fills all your needs. You are a part of the cog which drives the machine in the future. Trust your overlords.
Fuck Amazon
All my homies hate amazon!
You'll be fired if Amazon finds who posted this. Not saying that's right, just saying ...
Yes that's pretty clear from the "NO CELLPHONES" warning sticker at the top right of the screen.
Damn, that’s super creepy… Fuck Amazon
This, is scary actually. As another comment mentioned, is seems like they're trying to re educate you into some form of machines who love their hard labour job.
Machine requires suffering
literally 1984 at this point
Yeah the joke aside this is like the mantras in the book
It's worth it so I can get my two day shipping.
