This is just the same old Amazon - they optimize everything to the point that humans can't keep pace with their metrics without cutting corners.
- Rule35 6y ago> have had to pee in bottles for years Contractors can choose to pee where they want. But employees can sue so easily over this sort of thing. It's a specific OSHA violation. This story depends on confusing the issue about who is and isn't a contractor, doing this to themselves. The contractor should be let go. As the response notes, they represent the company and represent it badly.
- colejohnson66 6y agoIf they’re driving an Amazon branded truck, they’re Amazon for all I care. When an ISP contractor shows up at your house and is rude, you don’t go “well, they’re a contractor, so I can’t blame Spectrum for this.” No, they have Spectrum’s branding on, so they represent Spectrum. It doesn’t matter if they’re a contractor or not.
- Rule35 6y agoRight, that's why they need to be terminated regardless of their specific style of employment.
