What? I don't mean scheduled bathroom breaks, I mean they aren't given enough leeway during the day to even use the bathroom. There are many reports of them peeing in bottles and shitting in plastic bags.
- gpanders 5y agoI certainly agree with you that those stories are shocking and horrific, those reports were about delivery drivers, not warehouse workers, so it’s not really relevant to this particular discussion.
- colinmhayes 5y agoThe warehouse workers have similar issues, according to stories I've heard they can get reprimanded for using bathroom outside of lunch or one 15 minute break per shift.
- spectramax 5y agoThese are stories few and between. Literally hundreds of thousands of employees wouldn't remain quiet for not allowing bathroom breaks. You're pursuaded by anecdotal evidence of certain incident that may have happened. It is difficult to believe hundreds of thousands of workers around the world working in Amazon warehouses have not enmasse complained they can't go to bathroom. This is a media-driven narrative. Squeeky wheels make more noise.
