Amazon treats its employees the way it does because of us
- hanniabu 11y ago"Amazonians are expected to be available during holidays, pay for business calls and other expenses out of pocket, and are timed as they pack goods for shipment to ensure the highest productivity. There’s also the nightmare stories of cancer patients accused of low productivity, of the mother of a stillborn child made to leave for a business trip straight after the delivery, of managers crying at their desks." Wow. I've been passing over all the unfair amazon practices article, but now that I read this I see why people are upset. Guy gets cancer and is called out for being not as productive as everyone else, like his life isn't hard enough as is....
- jgeorge 11y agoI refuse to be made to feel quilty because Amazon treats their employees like crap. If Amazon charged more for their products, they wouldn't treat their employees any better than they do now. It's a cultural problem (or a bad management problem), not a revenue problem. Amazon treats its employees the way it does because it chooses to do so, not because of it's customers.
