Amazon workers skip bathroom breaks to keep their jobs

oregonblitzkrieg said:

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.

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.

Good luck the rest of the way.
