Amazon workers skip bathroom breaks to keep their jobs

oregonblitzkrieg

Amazon workers are forced to pee in bottles or forego their bathroom breaks entirely because fulfillment demands are too high. 74 percent of workers avoid using the toilet for fear of being warned they had missed their target numbers. Rising goals have also taken a toll on employees’ mental health, as 55 percent of them report having suffered depression since working at Amazon. Over 80 percent of workers said they would not apply for a job at Amazon again.

You would have to be a special kind of stupid to work at an Amazon fulfillment center.

So what you are saying is, Amazon found a way to get worker productivity. And you think that's a bad thing? Like these people aren't free to find another job?

I thought you were a free market conservative? They could start a union to get their bathroom breaks back.

Everyone here says hondo is a loony lefty so it confuses me that he would make a comment defending Amazon like this.

The world needs fulfillment center workers too!

As I was leaving Washington we did a center for Amazon out in the boondocks of Kent or somewhere

Definitely a weird vibe from the employees who looked like death camp workers. Eyes down, passing hidden notes asking for help.

We set up an underground railroad but we only built a couple miles before we ran out of money

Haha i had to go out to one in rural Delaware.

When I came back a year later after it was built it was like a ghost town.

Not many people there. Was pretty much mostly automated. Kind of weird.
