The company routinely pays wages barely above the poverty line, while using intrusive surveillance systems to monitor the workforce, fence them in with elaborate rules, set target times for their warehouse journeys, and then measure whether targets were met. All of this information is made available to management in real time, and if Amazons employee-athletes fall behind schedule, they receive a Big Brother-like text message pushing them to reach their targets or suffer the consequences. Failure to do so is met with a three strikes and release discipline system being a euphemism for getting sacked. --- https://imgur.com/lwkIVOb <cite>REMercsChamp posted [p:905256451] in Inside Ama...

OpShaft 07/18/18 7:30:16 AM #48:	I worked at amazon for a while before going into IT. Best warehouse job I've had. Great starting pay for warehouse(double the minimum wage here), benefits, super laid back, climate controlled, great coworkers and teamwork, etc. I could keep going. I'd go back if I needed something. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.5.1 <cite>OpShaft posted [p:905285171] in Inside Ama...
