“Jack Welch would be pleased.”
I was going to say they built a robot Jack Welch. Ah the good old days. It was a tough system but the company did well in those days.
How awful! Amazon pays people to work and then actually expects them to work? What kind of place does that?
All sarcasm aside, I am amazed that Amazon gets by at $15 an hour. I work at a factory in rural Missouri that pays operators $16 to $20 an hour and is losing people faster than they can hire. Corporate mismanagement plays a role, but a bigger part is other companies operating and expanding operations in the area that recruit and pay better. It used to be the best paying place for non-skilled labor within 30 miles but now we are middle of the pack and sliding downward as the economy roars forwards. Amazon operates in more expensive places so I am amazed they get away at $15.
It's a revolving door constantly. I am constantly complaining that we are not keeping up with the labor dollar market.
Then i say, whatev..........
I work for Amazon and I too believe in an honest day’s work. I don’t feel Amazon is unreasonable at all for using the tracking system. We have a rate to meet but if you don’t there is a process to help you reach the goal. Management does realize that we are human and they do listen to our barriers and issues and take everything into account. As far as being measured by Amazon’s metrics, it’s easy...come to work and do your job. I don’t see any problem holding people accountable for not doing what they are being paid to do.
