‘Go back to work’: outcry over deaths on Amazon’s warehouse floor | Technology

Amazon needs to be broken up

All this while Jeff fucking Bozos goes to bed at night tucked into 110.9 billion USD.

Which is almost as much as the ENTIRE GDP of Kentucky! And is more than ANY one man should EVER HAVE. Look at all he has and look at the deaths/suffering of those that work day in and day out to make him richer! This is why we should EAT THE RICH! Enough of those money hoarding monsters.

50% taxes on anyone over 10 billion dollars. That tax alone pays for everything the poor need in this country.

I listened to an interview a little while ago about how uniquely stressful an amazon picker’s job can be ([This looks to be her](https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/commentary/amazon-warehouse-on-the-clock-emily-guendelsberger-book-excerpt-20190711.html)). Apparently a worker’s scanner is constantly ticking down the seconds to complete a given task. I know I wouldn’t be able to handle that kind of stress.

“According to his brother, an Amazon human resources representative informed him at the hospital that Billy had lain on the floor for 20 minutes before receiving treatment from Amazon’s internal safety responders.“

I assume the company was busy posting the new job opening online.

Amazon, get some nitroglycerin tablets or syringes on hand. These will save lives when these occurrences will inevitably occur.

If you’ve ever been in an Amazon warehouse you know there’s absolutely zero chance that ever happened

Ahh I’m glad to work in the warehouse back in the days before rates was a thing. Still got the job done as efficiently and humanly possible but no nagging of why I didn’t hit rate. No issue about why I went to the bathroom. etc. We’re slowly becoming a 2nd China in terms of workforce treatment. Sounds like Amazon will have to get unionized.
