Pee bottles are hardly new nor are they unique to Amazon drivers. I actually don't think they're the issue. It's when you're overworked day-in-day-out and getting grilled on your numbers, urinating into a bottle becomes a slight to your dignity instead of a nasty, but necessary part of the job.
Putting a lavatory in the vehicle would suffice. Not grinding your workforce to the bone is better.
- advisedwang 6y agoThe point of the article is not whether or not it's normal. It's that amazon lied about whether it was happening within their walls.
- itisit 6y agoAnd my point is the company lying about a necessary evil of logistics is not much of an issue when compared to their corrosive employment practices.
- frombody 6y agoI've noticed this trend on reddit a lot. Essentially creating a strawman argument that says "the symptom is not the problem, the problem is the problem" Everyone ends up upvoting them because they're not technically wrong, but all they've done is derail the conversation by restating the obvious.
- itisit 6y agoPee bottles put a nice sordid spin on how oppressive an employer is, but again, they're not the issue. Where has the outrage been for the many decades of delivery drivers and truckers having to relieve themselves on the road in order to meet a deadline or quota? Perhaps it's lost on the genteel, but this is not a new phenomenon whatsoever. I'd invite people to ask why Amazon is getting heat here and not their competition, be they in logistics, retail, or both.
