No not an Amazon employee, but about 20 years ago I worked in a Warehouse and the guys were absolute deadbeat drug addicts who stole and spent the whole time smoking cigarettes and goofing off.
Now of course i'm sure most warehouse workers aren't like that but I can't even imagine what managing 125,000 low-skilled employees like that would be like, and i'm sure the turnover is absolutely massive as well.
It's all unicorns and rainbows and posturing until you're the guy who has to actually manage them.
- spaetzleesser 6y agoOne approach would be to pay more and attract better workers that way.
- wing-_-nuts 6y agoThe solution is simple, we adopt labor laws in line with other developed economies. We ENFORCE the ones we have now (I count several violations in this story), and we get workers on the board of companies, like Germany. I have to say, you stereotyping all warehouse workers as drug addicts and thieves is not a good look. It says more about you than them.
- krapp 6y agoCan you defend Amazon's policies on the basis of logistics, or economics? Because you seem to have little to bring to the table beyond voicing your contempt for the labor class.
