I thought the pamphlet was perfectly reasonable, as reported by vice.com. I fail to feel the outrage I'm apparently supposed to feel when an employer puts together a pamphlet that, AFAICT, says "hey, here are some things you probably didn't consider as you're working your ass off in our warehouse." Yeah, warehouse work is hard work, this has not been news for how many decades? Arguably, Amazon warehouse work is arguably extra-special sucky, but the reader is just left to assume this, I suppose?
But that doesn't get you clicks, so here comes the outrage: "All of Amazon’s tips for avoiding injuries on the job also ignore the simplest fix: reducing the pace of work." Well, done and done, eh, Vice? And then we have a single anecdote from an injured worker. But no reporting on why I'm supposed to not like the pamphlet, other than something something Amazon warehouse work sux0r.
