The past reports on Amazon warehouses call out how strict and automated the management is: that the local managers don't have the authority to really do much in the way of providing flexibility (or humanity) to people.
- dx87 7y agoYeah, I don't doubt the reports about it. I was just commenting about how "we actually have an open door policy" doesn't necessarily mean that the employees are brainwashed into thinking that having basic rights is something to applaud.
- michaelbuckbee 7y agoI think the pushback was that if there's an "open door" policy it is presumed to mean "open communication with the possibility of change or at least suggestions being heard". If the supervisor you have an "open door" to communicate with has zero flexibility in what they can do to help you then you might as well converse with one of the stock-picking robots.
- rrix2 7y agoSome people I know in AWS say that about their managers too
- madamelic 7y agoAlso I believe a lot of these warehouses are subcontractors for Amazon.
- CodeCube 7y agoThe worst of excuses for bad behavior, "it wasn't us, it was the subcontractors (that we told to act that way)!"
